The history of ancient Egypt and the ancient Israelites frequently crosses paths on the pages of the Bible. From the evil Pharaoh in the Book of Exodus to Mary and Joseph's flight from Herod to Egypt, it is one of the most frequently mentioned locations in the Bible. In the Hebrew Bible alone, there are nearly 700 mentions of Egypt, including a line of pharaohs who ruled over the nation for more than 100 years - the 25th Dynasty of Egypt.
