Moses and the Promised Land

Joseph, son of Jacob (Israel), believed God had great plans for him and trusted in God.  Through this faith he was able to save his entire Family by moving them to Egypt during a great Famine.  Many generations later the decedents of Jacob (Israel) were called Israelites.  They lived as Slaves of the Pharaoh.  The Pharaoh ordered all the baby boys of the Israelites killed to limit their population.
