Joseph had his brothers and dad brought into Egypt. Jacob and his other sons were put into the land of Gershom, the land used by the Shepherds. Shepherds were an abomination to the Egyptians so Pharaoh had them placed as far away from him as possible. The land of Gershom was located to the North of Egypt. Pharaoh had his Temple and Kings Palace in al-Karnak, more to the middle of Egypt where the land was most fertile due to the Nile's inundation. And when Joseph fall asleep in the grave, the future Pharaohs forgot about who Joseph was. But the Israelites were still in the land. They were still in the land of Goshen.
When a new Pharaoh had become king of Egypt, he ordered all the Hebrew male children to be put to death, because the Hebrews were becoming too numerous. And as the daughter of Pharaoh was bathing in the Nile, lo, a basket made of reeds. Pharaoh's daughter was not too far from her palace. And this place was near al-Karnak, towards the middle of Egypt where the land was fertile due to the inundation of the Nile. A certain Pharaoh had relocated the Hebrews from the land of Goshen, where the Shepherds were, to the land of the slaves. The slaves had to be near to the city Temple so as to always be ready for the orders. And so Pharaoh and his task masters ordered the Hebrews to continue with their work, day in and day out.
Moses was raised in the palace of the King. He had become the 'son' of Pharaoh's daughter and he was handed to wife, the priest's daughter. Having an Egyptian magician as a dad-in-law was a note worthy thing. Only the magicians of Pharaoh had any say in the dealings of Egypt. The magicians were Pharaoh's counselors. The magicians entrusted 'god ship' upon Pharaoh and so Pharaoh had to look to god's servants to maintain proper kingship. Moses was taught in the ways of Egypt's magicians, even the high magician's teaching. Moses may become the next Pharaoh.
The Hebrews were near the Temple grounds, near al-Karnak, more to the middle of Egypt. Jacob's family, who were living in the Land of Goshen, had become forgotten and the Land of Goshen was as it was before. A place for shepherds and sheep.
When God led Israel out of Egypt through the Red Sea, many people believe that they must have crossed some body of water from the Land of Goshen. But after Moses had come into life, the Hebrews were now living in another area, an area that was not Goshen but a land which was closer to al-Karnak. Pharaoh needed the slaves to be near, to be on ready call at all times. And the land of Goshen was too far in case immediate slavery needed to be done. Crossing over the Red Sea, from the coasts of al-Karnak, would have landed the Hebrews in Modern day Saudi Arabia. From Saudi Arabia, the Holy Bible tells how they passed through the land of the Edomites, then made way past the Moabite territory and past the Ammonite Territory. The territories of Edom, Moab and Ammon are all on the Eastern side of the Jordan River. It was on this Eastern Side of the Jordan River that the Israelites were being led by God.
Upon the crossing of the Jordan River, into the Promised Land, they entered into their new home land. This land was Westward of the Jordan River. Upon entering in the new land, all things West of the Jordan would have been their new land.
