Exodus 1:7

But the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied, they grew and became very strong (numerous), and the whole land was filled with them.
[God fulfilled his promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the Israelites had become a great people. They had become so large that they were a separate people among the Egyptians.
The Hebrew name for Egypt is Mitsrajim. That word was not used by the Egyptians themselves; they had the name Tavi, which means "two lands" and probably refers to Upper and Lower Egypt. The Hebrew word Mitsrajim comes from Ham's second son, Mitsrajim (Gen. 10:6). The word is in the dual form, which may have to do with the connection to Upper and Lower Egypt. The meaning is not entirely known, but the word is similar to the Hebrew matsor, which means siege and to be besieged. There may be a geographical connection here to the narrow "besieged" land along the Nile River. Civilization is centered around the Nile, and the land is "doubly" enclosed on either side of it. The Bible's choice to use this descriptive word for Egypt makes the story more general and applicable to all kinds of situations and areas that "enclose" and seek to enslave a person. The steps to liberation, in which the family plays an important role (it needs to be gathered and restored before the exodus can take place, see Ex. 12:3–4), can also be applied in our society today.]
