Joseph's office in Egypt caused Israel to leave this area of the Levant?
Joseph (Genesis) Joseph ( ; Hebrew: יוֹסֵף‎ meaning "Increase", "Yosef" "Yôsēp̄"; Arabic: يوسف‎ ‎ "Yūsuf" or "Yūsif"; Ancient Greek: Ἰωσήφ "Iōsēph") is an important figure in the Bible's Book of Genesis and also in the Quran. Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, he rose to become vizier, the second most powerful man in Egypt next to Pharaoh, where his presence and office caused Israel to leave Canaan and settle in Egypt. The composition of the story can be dated to the period between the 7th century BCE and the third quarter of the 5th century BCE, which is roughly the period to which scholars date the Book of Genesis.
Ofira Ofira (Hebrew: אופירה‎ ‎ ) was an Israeli settlement in the Sharm el-Sheikh area of the southern Sinai Peninsula, an Egyptian territory that was under Israeli occupation from 1967 to 1982. Ofira was settled from 1969 and was meant to accommodate 500 families. An airfield was opened in 1976, today known as Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport.
