## The Ancient Empires
God had promised Abraham that he would give Abraham's descendants the land of Canaan. God made this same promise to Abraham's son Isaac and to Isaac's son Jacob. The descendants of Jacob were the Israelites. The Old Testament tells about how God gave the land of Canaan to the Isrealites. It also tells about how God used the nations around Israel to both to make Israel and strong kingdom and to punish Israel when they disobeyed God.

The history of God's people in the Bible gives many accounts of the rise and fall of mighty kingdoms.
These kingdoms were: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. and the Biblical accounts of God's people, Israel and Judah are aligned with the Ancient Empires, who directed much of the history of Israel.

###### Egypt
Egypt was a powerful kingdom in the northeast part of Africa. There was a famine in Canaan, so Jacob and his family moved to Egypt (see: Genesis 46). Jacob's descendants grew to be the nation of Israel, and they were slaves in Egypt. But God rescued them and led them out of Egypt, through the wilderness, to the land of Canaan (see Exodus 6:1-5 and Joshua 1:1-5.).
