The people of Yahweh were terribly oppressed by a pharoah that did not know Joseph. This pharoah abused the people of Yahweh because he feared that if a foe attempted to northwestern frontier the people of Yahweh would unite with them in a confederacy to overthrow his nation. Yahweh raised up a young prince of Egypt to lead his people out of bondage. His name was Moses. He would become one of the greatest theologians of the ancient world.
