Egypt
Egypt, a country linking northeast Africa with the Middle East, dates to the time of the pharaohs. Millennia-old monuments still sit along the fertile Nile River Valley, including the colossal Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza and the hieroglyph-lined Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings tombs in Luxor. The capital, Cairo, is home to Ottoman landmarks such as Muhammad Ali Mosque.
The word translated Egypt in the Bible is Mitsrayim from the Hebrew word matsowr רוצמ MemAyinVavReish[1] meaning besieged places or a place where we were besieged by masters.
It is from the Hebrew word tsuwr רוצ AyinVavReish[2] which is the Hebrew word meaning "to bind, besiege, confine". By adding the letter Mem which has to do with something that flows, the word is connected to words that also begin with the letter Mem, like Altars and Tribute. In the Kingdom of God, the tithe flows to society through freewill offerings of charity, but in the cities of Cain and Nimrod and Egypt they flow by force of men who call themselves Benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other in the form of taxes. These men are the Fathers of the earth. The same was true with Herod's system of Corban, which John the Baptist and Christ opposed.
The Israelites went into bondage because they depended upon the Pharaoh to be their Benefactor. The Pharaoh had no authority over the people[3] at first as a ruler. But when he offered benefits in hard times, he gained more and more power. Those who signed up for his benefits system became a part of his house[4], and he became the ruling father of the people.
They became legally enslaved by their consent accepting the Benefits of his government. In such systems, what should be for your welfare becomes a snare.
Egypt was a form of Government where the people were a part of a Corvee. God told His people (and us) to never return to Egypt nor were their leaders to do any thing to cause the people to return to that bondage.[5]
This was to be written down in their Constitution if they ever elected a leader who could rule over them.

The Levites were also naked and they need the people to sew them "underwear", a limited covering.
