What do Coptic Christians believe?

A Coptic Christian is a person who belongs to the Coptic Orthodox Church.

Coptic means Egyptian in the Coptic language (Evolved language from the Ancient Egytpian language). However since the Islamic/Arab conquest of Egypt, it refers to Christians, namely the Eastern 'Oriental' Orthodox sect.

The Coptic Orthodox church was founded by St.Mark and belongs to the Eastern 'Oriental' Orthodox church, not the Eastern Orthodox, because of a schism, heresy or misunderstanding between definitons on the nature of Christ.

The Coptic Orthodox church is headed by the Pope and Patriarch of all Alexandria, Pope Shenouda the Third. Note the word Pope was used by the Coptic church before the Catholic Pope asserted primacy, hence the title of Bishop of Rome. However it is not used in the same way as the Roman Catholics do, which means authority, but as the word 'father' in latin, while Patriarch is 'father' in Greek.

If you know nothing about Coptic Christians you may know that the Nicene Creed was written by one of its fathers. Rosary beads and Monastacism originated from one of its saints and most of the martyrs in Christianity were Coptic just to give an idea to other sects that may not be familiar.

Why did the Israelite leave Canaan to go to Egypt?

There was a drought and famine in Jacob's time, so the Israelites went to Egypt because "there was grain in Egypt". Joseph, Jacob's lost son, as vizier in Egypt, has wisely built storehouses for Egypt's grain during the years of plenty to give out in the years of famine.

Jacob's other sons came and requested some of the grain that Joseph had saved. When Joseph reunited with his brothers, he eventually had the rest of the family brought down to Egypt, to protect them from the famine. They stayed in the Land of Goshen as guests of the Pharaoh.

Later on, in Moses' time, the Israelites had to leave Egypt and go to Canaan in order to escape their enslavement.

The river flooded on a regular basis and, in so doing, helped to spread those fertile soils over a far wider area as well as providing water to them. This allowed people to cultivate the land (which was formerly desert) and to grow crops.

The Nile also provides fish for food, and is used for transport.
