Joe: Alright, so let's start with Genesis 46. What's the rundown here?

Bible Expert: So this chapter is about Jacob's family going to Egypt. God had appeared to Jacob in a dream and told him to go to Egypt, so Jacob and his family all go down to Egypt and Joseph meets them there and helps them get settled.

Joe: So I guess God was looking out for Jacob and his family then?

Bible Expert: Absolutely. God had promised to protect Jacob and his descendants, and he was true to his word.

Joe: Wow, so what happened next?

Bible Expert: So Jacob and his family settled in the land of Goshen, which was in the Nile Delta region. They ended up growing and multiplying there and eventually became the nation of Israel.

Joe: That is amazing! So God really looked out for them and provided a place for them to live and thrive.

Jamie (Joe's sidekick): Hey Joe, real quick, I just Googled it and it says that the population of Israel grew to over two million by the time they left Egypt.

Joe: Wow, that is incredible! So what happened after that?

Bible Expert: Well, after that, Joseph died and the Israelites ended up being enslaved by the Egyptians. But even in this time of oppression, God was still looking out for his people and eventually he sent Moses to deliver them from slavery.
