From Welcomed Guests to Slavery in Egypt
The next Bible study and first article covering the book of Exodus was just published, so follow this link to read the article Patriarch Deaths and Israel in Bondage on the main site.
Besides details and historical dates, the article documents the growth of the family of Jacob from 70 persons entering Egypt as honored guests, and eventually slavery, to nearly 2 million when they left.
The sons of Jacob, who was renamed Israel by God, were the 12 patriarchs and all died in Egypt.
The article concludes with a comment stating "Covenants made and broken by ancient people in relationship to God are a common theme throughout the Old Testament", and helps put the New Testament into perspective.
It's interesting to note that the word "testament" was a poor translation to English in 1611 by the KJV team and was taken from a Latin root. More accurate titles of the two major divisions of the Christian Bible would be Old Covenant and New Covenant.
