before the jewish people were slaves in egypt where did they live?

Answer 1

God created the Jews as Egyptian slaves.

Answer 2

If you read the Dead Sea Scrolls, and you can view some online.
You will see that there were 12 tribes of Israel. That all are brothers and sisters. Hebrews lived in the cradle as all others. Abraham had two sons, and one was Isaac, and the other Ishmael. The idea is that we all come from the same source, and that where ever we live we should be respected as human beings and left to our own beliefs what ever that is. Peace on Earth and Good Will towards All Men/Women. Merry Christmas. Don't you think it is about time that this pissing contest ends, I know all the children want this as well as most of the good souls on earth. No one is better than the other Jesus tells you that, and so why cant we just let it go? Because of Atheists and Control Freaks. But the people were not Jewish when they were slaves in Egypt they were Hebrews, Judaism came after Moses with the Laws of G-D on the tablets, with an organization for religion by G-D and his chosen people of oppression. I would venture to say that G-D felt they earned it from all the torture and that they would be humble and follow. And guess what after thousands of years the Jewish people have still followed G-D. Isnt that amazing how loyal they are? Thousands of years? And millions upon millions have been slaughtered because of their loyalty and still they prevail. You know it is not so much the Jews as it is the G-D that they believe in and his strength within them and regardless Jesus is Lord and he will prevail forever with Jehovah forever. And anything less I guess all those that are atheists will look forward to another Sodom and Gomorrah for all their troubles they will have Hell to look forward to as well.

Answer 3

They started off the Mesopotamian area, and I believe they were nomads for a bit. Not all of the Jewish people even were in Egypt, and the concept of slavery is a little weird. Not all the Jews were slaves, as Egyptians were okay with foreigners when they became Egyptians.

Answer 4

Jewish people were not slaves in Egypt. Many Israelites (not all) were in slaves in Egypt, long before anyone Jewish existed. Later the Ten Tribes, aka The Lost Sheep Of The House Of Israel, went into Assyrian captivity and the other two, Judah and the rebel half of Benjamin, aka The House of Judah, fell to Babylon. Later a mixture racially and ethnically of some folks traveling to the Palestine area began to be known as Jews. The Remnant were never in captivity, aka the obedient other half of Benjamin and the royalty, The House Of David. Most disciples of Jesus were of this half, aka Galilaeans, Gauls, while Jesus, not a Jew, came from the House Of David. Jesus called Jewish-Edomites devils(diabolos). Only Paul and Judas Iscariot(ek Karioth) were Jewish, their ancestors, Benjamin and Esau/Edom respectively, having been in Babylonian captivity(only Paul's, Egyptian).

Answer 5

"The Nile Delta".......


The Middle East has been a battleground since 1800 B.C.E. as warring tribes have been fighting over the water in the area and farmlands it provdes.

The Egyptians were conquered first in 1440 B.C.E. by a group known as "the Hyksos" ... possibly the early Hebrew tribesmen. They were driven out in 1525 B.C.E. and the Egyptians began to rebuild their society. They grew strong enough in 1440 B.C.E. to "Take the fight back to the Hyksos", and soon conquered all the tribes surrounding them. At this point, Egypt is born as a nation and soon the nation grew to occupy the entire region.

The lands are finally subjugated by 1292 B.C.E. and the true 'reign of the Pharoahs' begins. This is the time and the land into which 'Moses' is born. The 'slaves of Egypt' (all of the conquered tribes including the Hebrews) had been under Egyptian rule for at least a century at this point, but still retained their culture.

Moses is the one who leads the 'people of Israel out into the wilderness' into a new land which is essentially modern day Israel. This is the modern-day Palestine and is not "their land". It is in fact occupied by other warring tribes still fighting for dominance.

The Hebrew nation now begins to split into 'tribes' named after the senior leaders... twelve in all (remember the twelve 'Colonies in BattleStar Galactica?).

One tribe vanishes entirely before 722 B.C.E., one splits off to become the 'Southern Kingdom', and the other ten become the 'Northern Kingdon'. The Assyrians conquer the Northern Kingdom in 722 B.C.E. and Judah is conquered by Babylon in 586 B.C.E.

Answer 6

Ok boys, Lets cut to the chase here. Before Israel and his sons went to Egypt they lived in the land Of Caanan. They were there for a while and that is where they were when Israels sons sold their brother Joseph to a band of traiders and the traiders took him to Egypt. So that said I suggest that all of you read..use your eyeballs like a hawk has eyeballs and you will see what happened. Alot of details are left out and for good reason too! Any way It was the Land Of Caanan where the inhabitants of that region did some very weird and different stuff.
adios, Ammo

Answer 7

Once there were three WANDERING Jews...
Nomadic tribes. The link is very interesting. Check it out.

The patriarchal period begins with Abraham. Most Bible commentaries place the events surrounding Abraham (originally known as Abram) circa 1800 BCE, give or take 100 years. The account of his life is found in the Book of Genesis, beginning in Chapter 11, at the close of a genealogy of the sons of Shem (which includes among its members Eber, the eponym of the Hebrews).

His father Terah came from Ur Kasdim. His father moved his family, including his son Abram, from Ur Kasdim to the city of Haran.

According to Genesis, God called Abram to faith and obedience. Abram married his half-sister Sarai. He and his extended clan then moved to the land of Canaan. The Bible goes on to say that God called Abram to go to "the land I will show you", and promised to bless him and make him (though hitherto childless) a great nation. Trusting this promise, Abram journeyed down to Shechem, then to a spot between Bethel and Ai. He then moved to the oaks of Mamre in Hebron. (1)

Answer 8

um first Abraham moved to Ur , where they lived for sum time but then when Joseph(jew) told what the dream of pharaoh meant, all Jews went to Egypt, and then as long as Joseph was alive, all the Jews were happy in Egypt, but then the mean pharaoh and they had to be slaves.
