Egypt is a mostly desert-containing large country in Northern Africa that the River Nile flows through. In the time of [[Moses]], the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. Today, most of the people in Egypt are [[Muslims]], but a significant minority belong to the [[Coptic Church]]. Persecution of Christians occurs commonly in Egypt.
====Egypt in the Old Testament====
The great-grandson of Abraham, [[Joseph (Genesis)|Joseph]] was sold into slavery in Egypt. However, after interpreting the Pharoah's dreams, Joseph became the governor of Egypt, second only to the Pharoah himself. Following these events, famine struck the land and the brothers of Joseph travelled to Egypt, ultimately moving into the land of [[Goshen]] in the delta of the [[Nile River]]. In time, the dynasty changed, and the new Pharoah enslaved the Israelites. For hundreds of years the people were slaves until [[God]] raised up [[Moses]] to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
