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.}} ===History=== ====Egypt in the Old Testament==== One of the great ancient civilizations arose in Egypt. By the time of [[Abraham]], Egypt was a flourishing and powerful nation. In the books of [[Genesis]] and [[Exodus]] the Israelites story of slavery in Egypt is told. 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.
