Psalm 105:23-25

Then Israel arrived in Egypt;

    Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

And the LORD multiplied the people of Israel

    until they became too mighty for their enemies.

Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites,

    and they plotted against the LORD's servants.

 

Then Israel arrived in Egypt; Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

Genesis 46:5  So Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took him to Egypt. They carried him and their little ones and their wives in the wagons Pharaoh had provided for them.  (see verses 1-27)

Acts 7:14  "Then Joseph sent for his father, Jacob, and all his relatives to come to Egypt, seventy-five persons in all."  (see verses 11-15)

Psalm 106:21-22  

They forgot God, their savior,

    who had done such great things in Egypt--

such wonderful things in the land of Ham,

    such awesome deeds at the Red Sea.  (see all Psalm 106)

 

And the LORD multiplied the people of Israel until they became too mighty for their enemies. 

Genesis 47:27  Meanwhile, the people of Israel settled in the region of Goshen in Egypt. There they acquired property, and they were fruitful, and their population grew rapidly.  (see verses 1-12)

Exodus 1:7  But their descendants, the Israelites, had many children and grandchildren. In fact, they multiplied so greatly that they became extremely powerful and filled the land.

Acts 7:17  "As the time drew near when God would fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt greatly increased." 

 

Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the LORD's servants. 

Exodus 1:8-12  Eventually a new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done. He said to his people, "Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are. We must make a plan to keep them from growing even more. If we don't, and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies and fight against us. Then they will escape from the country."

    So the Egyptians made the Israelites their slaves. They appointed brutal slave drivers over them, hoping to wear them down with crushing labor. They forced them to build the cities of Pithom and Rameses as supply centers for the king. But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the Egyptians became.
