There was a famine in Canaan (Israel) so Jacob went down to Egypt.

After some time (about 200 years) the amount of Jews increased until Paroh (the Egyptian king) worried that the Jews would join his enemy's, so he decided to enslave the Jews so there numbers would not grow.

Then G-D got involved.
