Life in Egypt: The Setting of Israel's Slavery and Deliverance

LIFE IN EGYPT
The Setting of Israel's Slavery and Deliverance

For centuries, Egypt stood as one of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world. Life in Egypt explores the world in which the Israelites lived as slaves and the backdrop to their dramatic deliverance through Moses. From the Nile River to the grand temples of Pharaoh, Egypt was a land of both prosperity and oppression, where God's people experienced hardship but also witnessed His mighty hand of salvation.

Drawing from Scripture, archaeology, and historical records, this book reveals what daily life looked like in Egypt during the time of Israel's captivity.
