Egypt and the Israelites #2 The Genesis narrative tells of how Joseph was sold into slavery and brought down to Egypt. During a famine in Canaan his brothers and their whole clan came down as well, setting up shop in the fabled land of Goshen. Was there a Joseph? Did he even exist? On the other hand, if the biblical narrative had been compiled many centuries later by scribes who simply fabricated the stories, how would they know such fine details as the fact the name "Moses" is a play on words in the Egyptian language? What in the end can we really prove? You be the judge!. Dr. Kenneth Hanson http://drkenhanson.com/
