Kingdoms of the EarthVoorbeeld

# Egypt After the dispersion of the peoples, Egypt soon became one of the first and most prosperous kingdoms on earth. When there was a famine in Canaan, Abraham went to Egypt, and Joseph, when he was sold into slavery by his brothers, was also taken there. The Bible tells how God magnified Egypt under Joseph's administration and caused its downfall when he sent plagues to deliver the Israelites. When Herod tried to kill the infant Jesus, his parents also sought refuge in Egypt. The culture and wealth of this kingdom can be seen in museums around the world and enchant many. In the next study, we will talk about Israel.
