Genesis 47:11Conservative English VersionJoseph obeyed the king's orders and gave his father and brothers some of the best land in Egypt near the city of Rameses. See the chapter |
Israel left the Egyptian city of Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month. This was the day after the LORD had punished Egypt's gods by killing the first-born sons in every Egyptian family. So while the Egyptians were burying the bodies, they watched the Israelites proudly leave their country.
