Description:
Before the Hyksos ruled Egypt, many Asiatic/Semitic people from the Levant had already settled in the eastern Nile Delta. They came through trade, migration, labor, and service under Egyptian rulers. This background helps explain how a Semitic foreigner like Joseph could rise in Egypt before Hyksos rule officially began.Added to timeline:
