The descendants of Abraham, Jacob and his posterity, were brought down to Egypt that in the midst of that great and wicked nation they might reveal the principles of God's kingdom. The integrity of Joseph and his wonderful work in preserving the lives of the whole Egyptian people were a representation of the life of Christ. Moses and many others were witnesses for God.

Abrahams efterkommere, Jakob og hans sønner blev ført til Ægypten, for at de kunne åbenbare Guds riges principper midt i denne store og ugudelige nation. Josefs retskaffenhed og hans vidunderlige gerning, da han reddede hele det ægyptiske folk fra hungersnøden, varen fremstilling af Jesu liv Moses og mange andre var Guds vidner.
