I've recently been reading through Genesis and reaching the end, I was suddenly left asking a question - "If Joseph brought his father Jacob and all his family down to Egypt from Cannan (the land that God had promised to Abraham) to escape the famine that Joseph had predicted when he interpreted Pharaoh's dream. Why didn't they go back to the 'promised land' once the famine was over?" If they'd gone back after the famine, then they wouldn't have been in Egypt for hundreds of years, eventually becoming slaves and therefore the whole need for God to lead them out of slavery, across the Red Sea and through the wilderness for 40 years wouldn't have happened!
