Egypt is a region in northeast Africa, on the coast of the Mediterranian Sea. Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt; after interpreting the pharoah's dreams, Joseph became the governor of Egypt, second only to the Pharoah himself.
A famine struck the land. Jacob, his other children and their families travelled to Egypt to get some grain. After testing them, Joseph invited his family to settle in the land of Goshen in the delta of the Nile river.
In time, the dynasty changed, and the new Pharoah enslaved the decendants of Jacob, known as the Israelites. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt.
That takes us through Genesis and Exodus. Feel free to expand.
