Exodus 1:1-14
Family relocation stories are complicated. We start out in one place and end in another. Or else, we stay and our family members go. Such was the story of the sons of Israel. Joseph was sold into slavery and went with a caravan to Egypt. His life was filled with ups and downs, but the LORD was with Joseph and he became the second in command, directing Egypt’s Department of Agriculture. Many years later, his 11 brothers went to Egypt in search of food after a severe famine rocked the Middle East. When the brothers were surprisingly accepted and reunited with the brother they had betrayed, these 11 persuaded their father Jacob (Israel) to leave his home for the land of Egypt.
