5. Another son, Joseph, was already in Egypt. So Jacob’s whole family was with him in Egypt—70 descendants in all.
6. Later, Joseph, his brothers, and all the people of that generation died.
7. But the Israelites had many children, and their number grew until the country of Egypt was filled with them.
8. Then a new king began to rule Egypt. He did not know Joseph.

10. We must make plans to stop them from growing stronger. If there is a war, they might join our enemies, defeat us, and escape from the land!”
