Moses was chosen by God to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and into the promised land. This epic journey was known as the Exodus and was dominated by the heroic figure of Moses.
Genesis 15:18 'In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
About 2000BC Abraham was summoned by God who asked him to leave the deserts of Mesopotamia and head towards the land of Canaan.
Canaan at this time was prone to unpredictable crop failure and famine. It had one major disadvantage in that it didn't have a life-giving river system like the Nile in Egypt or the Euphrates and Tigres in Mesopotamia. So when it was struck by a severe famine around the 17th century BC, Abraham's grandson Jacob was forced to take his twelve sons to find food in Egypt.
