“Understand God’s Word—The Book of Exodus” continues the series of books that provides readers with an in-depth look into the scriptures without being too theological for the ordinary person to understand.
Chapter by chapter, account by account, readers will delve into the calling of Moses to lead God’s people, Israel, out of Egypt. From the first Passover meal through their travels across the desert, we see the Israelites seesawing back and forth between faithful obedience and choosing sin over God’s tender loving care and provision.
In studying God’s giving of the Mosaic Law, we begin to see our utter inability to care for ourselves and our intense need for a Savior worthy of all our praise.

Okay, let’s take this passage of scripture apart and examine it more closely…
The Israelites had a population explosion. While they still may have been considered a minority (technically speaking), the ratio of Israelites to Egyptians was becoming more balanced.
A new king (Pharaoh) came to power that didn’t know anything about Joseph or what he had done. This is both feasible and disturbing.
The feasibility comes in the fact that we know Joseph lived another thirteen years after Jacob died while living in Egypt. In that thirteen years Joseph might easily have shifted his focus to his family since the drought had passed—reducing his presence and his power in the hierarchy of the government. This would explain why he didn’t know Joseph. Another explanation of this could easily be attributed to the fact that the Egyptians were a people who prided themselves on being stronger, smarter, and more advanced than any other people group. So…if Joseph was identifying himself more with the Israelites at this point, the new Pharaoh would not have ‘lowered’ himself to give credit to anyone else for saving Egypt. And finally, we must remember that the rise to power was an inherited thing. It wasn’t like the new Pharaoh had been running in political circles for years in order to attain the position he now held.
