Abstract

The story of Joseph is one of the most fascinating, detailed, and complex stories in the Bible. Although there is no direct archeological evidence that relates the Israelites to Egypt, it is assumed that the Israelites who emigrated from Canaan (Palestine) to Egypt in search of a more fruitful land were the Hyksos, Semitic tribes who invaded Egypt in 1730 BC and ruled Egypt for 150 years.
