The pharaohs of the 13th dynasty had very short reigns. The 13th dynasty ended with the invasion of the [[Hyksos]] not long after the [[Exodus of Israel]]. | The pharaohs of the 13th dynasty had very short reigns.

Egypt's wealth and power reached it's peak in the 12th dynasty under [[Sesostris III]] and his son [[Amenemhet III]]. By the end of the 12th dynasty, the Jews had come to number about 2 million. They had been in Egypt for 400 years and they had served as slaves for about half of this time. The 12th dynasty pharaohs had long forgoten Joseph / Imhotep of the 3rd dynasty and were becoming fearful of the Jews because they were so numerous. The 12th dynasty pharaohs decided to oppress the Jews and made them in to slaves. They were forced to work the fields and make mudbricks for the inner core of the 12th dynasty pyramids. | Egypt's wealth and power reached it's peak in the 12th dynasty under [[Sesostris III]] and his son [[Amenemhet III]].

As [[Amenemhet III]] was left with no male successor, the Middle Kingdom started to fall apart when he died. [[Amenemhet III]] hoped that [[Moses]], an Israelite baby, adopted by the Princess [[Sobekneferu]] and groomed to be the next Pharaoh ([[Amenemhet IV]]) would be able to continue the 12th dynasty. [[Amenemhet IV]] did in fact co-reign with Amenemhet III for a period of 9 yrs, but when he revealed his affections towards his biological kindred, he had to flee to Midian (when 40 years of age). Suddenly, there was no male successor for Amenemhet III. [[Sobekneferu]], the princess that found [[Moses]] amongst the reeds of the Nile and raised him as her own, had to take over the reigns herself when [[Amenemhet III]] died. She only lived for another 4 yrs (maybe 8 years) and when she died, the 12th dynasty ended. Egypt fell into turmoil and became politically unstable. There was a quick succession of Pharaohs in the 13th dynasty until [[Neferhotep]] who was the Pharaoh who was ruling when [[Moses]] ([[Amenemhet IV]]) returned from his exile in [[Midian]]. | As [[Amenemhet III]] was left with no male successor, the Middle Kingdom started to fall apart when he died.
