Joseph was sold into it, and his family went down to live there (Gen 37:28; 46:6). God brought Israel out of it with a mighty hand (Exod 12:41). The child Jesus fled there with his parents (Matt 2:14).

18For thus says YHWH Tsevaot, the Elohim of Israel: As my anger and my fury were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my fury will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt, and you will become an imprecation and a horror and a curse and a reproach, and you will not see this place again.
