Yes, thy were already the twelve tribes, but remember they were taken into slavery and lead out by Moses
your only partially correct with that. they weren't taken into slavery at first.Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers instead of killing
him.
he wound up in Potiphar’s house in Egypt. he was gifted with the ability to interpret dreams. He interpreted Pharaohs dreams for 7 years of plenty
and 7 years pf famine. in doing that Pharaoh put him in charge answering only to him.
during the famine his brothers went to Egypt looking for help, they didn't recognize Joseph at first, it wasn't until Joseph tested them and set up
his youngest brother Benjamin who had become Jacobs /Israels favorite after losing Joseph, a thief and instead of dogging Benjamin off his older
brother Judah offered his life this time instead to keep from breaking his fathers heart. Joseph then revealed himself to them and had them go and
bring all of Israel to Egypt where they grew and prospered as free people for i forget exactly how long.
then when a Pharaoh came to power whose family didn't know who or how the Israelite's were or came to be in Egypt, and was afraid that they would take
control of the Kingdom placed them into slavery.
