What was the land the Hebrews lived in during their time in Egypt called?

• A. Sinai
• B. Goshen
• C. Bethel
• D. Canaan

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying where the Hebrews lived while they were in Egypt. In the biblical narrative, Joseph’s family settles in a region called Goshen, a fertile area in the Nile Delta, after Pharaoh welcomes them and grants them land. This place is described as suitable for their shepherding lifestyle and kept them separate from the Egyptian population during their centuries in Egypt.

Other places mentioned in the options have different roles in the broader story: Sinai is the wilderness where Israel later receives the Law, Bethel is a city in Canaan, and Canaan is the land promised to Abraham. But during the time the Hebrews lived in Egypt, the land they settled in was Goshen.
