# Who did not care for the memory of Joseph? A new king arose over Egypt, who did not care for the memory of Joseph. [1:8] # What did the king of the Egyptians think would happen if they did not deal wisely with the Israelites? The king of the Egyptians was afraid that the Israelites would continue to multiply, and if war would break out, they would join the Egyptians' enemies, fight against them and leave the land. [1:8]
