==Historical Background==

In the 20th century B.C., God called [[Abraham]], who was living in Haran, and commanded him to go to the promised land of Canaan. Trusting in God’s promise, Abraham left his homeland and settled in Canaan, where his son [[Isaac]] was born in his old age and later became his [[History of Abraham’s Family|heir]]. Isaac fathered [[Esau]] and [[Jacob]], and Jacob had twelve sons. During a severe drought in Canaan, Jacob and his 70 family members relocated to Goshen in Egypt, where his eleventh son, [[Joseph (Son of Jacob)|Joseph]], had risen to the position of prime minister. Over time, Jacob’s descendants multiplied, forming the [[The Twelve Tribes of Israel|twelve tribes]] and eventually becoming the nation of Israel, which filled the land of Egypt.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+1%3A7&version=NIV |title=Exodus 1:7 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>
