At Lunch With Ramases I In Thebes, 4
That ancient slave (his people called Hebrews)
was elevated to a great position,
to make Kem ready for famine's condition.
After some time, he brought his family
to Kem, to live on our prosperity
(the legends number them at seventy).
As for their dwelling place, they pleased to choose
the land of Goshen, where they multiplied
too much. Such numbers, foreigners', provide
the motive to compel their slavery---
relieving us of many manual labors.
From Goshen they rose, but were not our neighbors.
