places in the bible: Egypt by ric Gustafson
In ancient texts, Egypt means ' Black Land' or ' The Two Straits'. Egypt is located in Northern Africa near Libya, Sudan, Israel and the Mediterranean Sea. Bible verses that talk about this ancient land include Genesis 46:6, Exodus 3:11 and Matthew 2:13.
This ancient land became populated as early as 10,000 BC. In 343 BC Egypt fell to the Persians which was followed by the Romans and the Greeks. The Bible records Abram's visits, Joseph's rise to power and then the Hebrews rescue from God through Moses.
Egypt is the second largest country in Africa with Cairo as it's capital and largest city. The majority of the population is Muslim.
