Egypt
Joseph rose to power there and kept his family alive through the famine. A later pharaoh enslaved their descendants, and that set up the exodus. For the rest of the Old Testament Egypt stands for the slavery Israel was brought out of, and Matthew has Jesus's family flee there from Herod as if living that story again.
First, in plain English
Joseph rose to power there and kept his family alive through the famine. A later pharaoh enslaved their descendants, and that set up the exodus. For the rest of the Old Testament Egypt stands for the slavery Israel was brought out of, and Matthew has Jesus's family flee there from Herod as if living that story again.
Who this is
Egypt was Israel's neighbor to the south and, across different periods, both its refuge and its oppressor: Joseph rose to power there and saved his family from famine, but generations later a new pharaoh enslaved their descendants, setting up the exodus. Egypt reappears throughout the Old Testament as a byword for the old life of slavery Israel was delivered from, and Matthew records that Jesus's own family fled there briefly to escape Herod's massacre of infants, framing Jesus as reliving Israel's own exodus story.
