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.
