Genesis 50: 22 -26 (ESV) 22 So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father’s house. Joseph lived 110 years. 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were counted as Joseph’s own. 24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. ”

Genesis 50: 22 -26 (ESV) 25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. ” 26 So Joseph died, being 110 (71 years from the time his brothers came) years old. They embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Exodus 1: 1 -7(ESV) 1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5 All the descendants of Jacob were seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt. 6 Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation. 7 But the people of Israel

Exodus 1: 1 -7(ESV) were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.

Exodus 1: 8 -14 (ESV) 8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. 9 And he said to his people, “Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. 10 Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land. ” 11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy

Exodus 1: 8 -14 (ESV) burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. 13 So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves 14 and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of

Exodus 1: 8 -14 (ESV) work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves.

Exodus 2: 23 -25 (ESV) 23 During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 God saw the people of Israel—and God knew.

Exodus 4: 11 -12 (ESV) 11 Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak. ”

Exodus 14: 13 -14 (ESV) 13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent. ”

Exodus 14: 15 -16 (ESV) 15 The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16 Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.

Exodus 15: 24 -27 (ESV) 24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink? ” 25 And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.

Exodus 15: 24 -27 (ESV) 24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink? ” 25 And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them, 26 saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes,

Exodus 15: 24 -27 (ESV) and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer. ”

Exodus 15: 24 -27 (ESV) and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer. ” 27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.
