Bible Question: in exodus why were the israelights slaves?

Bible Answer: Hi Missy

Now Joseph, was a friend of the king of Egypt, but when he died and that king died, thing's changed radically. You can read the story in Ex 1:6-10

"Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
But the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty, so that the land was filled with them.
Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. He said to his people, "Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are more and mightier than we. "Come, let us deal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and in the event of war, they will also join themselves to those who hate us, and fight against us and depart from the land." Exodus 1:6-10

So you see the new king, did not trust them, so he put them in bondage/ [slavery] so he could keep an eye on them.

Hope this helps.

God bless
John
