Egypt in Genesis 12
EE-jipt
This place shows up in Genesis 12:10: “There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 12:10
“There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.”
