The Israelites numbered about 70 when they first came to live in Egypt at the invitation of the Pharaoh whose vizier was Jacob's 11th son Jospeh-Imhotep. They were allowed to live in the best part of the land; Goshen. Here they flourished and multiplied under the protection of Joseph who was second in charge of Egypt and had saved the country from a seven year famine by storing up grain to sell before the famine started. Joseph had brought up all the land of Egypt and had made the Pharaoh very rich and powerful. Joseph lived until the age of 110 years and served several pharaohs. When he died, he was embalmed and given a royal Egyptian burial - some 80 yrs after he first entered Egypt. | The Israelites numbered about 70 when they first came to live in Egypt at the invitation of the Pharaoh whose vizier was Jacob's 11th son Jospeh-Imhotep.

The Israelites came to Egypt in the 3rd dynasty when [[Netjerkhet]] was the Pharaoh. Pharaoh [[Netjerikhet]] came to be know as Pharaoh Djoser as time went by (the pharaoh of Joseph). The Israelites flourished and multiplied during the 3rd & 4th dynasties while Joseph was alive and continued to multiply during the 5th & 6th dynasties after his death. The 6th dynasty, which was based in Memphis in Lower Egypt, was contemporary with the 9th and 10th dynasties based in Herakleopolis and the 11th dynasty based in Thebes. | The Israelites came to Egypt in the 3rd dynasty when [[Netjerkhet]] was the Pharaoh.

About 100 years after Joseph's death, a pharaoh who did not know Joseph came to power. [[Amenemhet I]] was the vizier of [[Mentuhotep IV]] of the 11th dynasty based in Thebes (Upper Egypt). He assassinated [[Mentuhotep IV]] of the 11th dynasty and took over both Upper and Lower Egypt to start what is known as the 12th dynasty (or Egypt's Middle Kingdom). The pharaohs of the middle kingdom did not like the Israelites and felt threatened by them. Fearing that they would join their enemies, they forced the Israelites into slavery. | About 100 years after Joseph's death, a pharaoh who did not know Joseph came to power.
