Bible Answer: The first appearance of the title Pharoah in the Bible is in Genesis 12:15, "Pharoah's courtiers saw her (refers to Sarai, wife of Abram) and praised her to Pharoah, and the woman was taken into Pharoah's palace." The names of the pharoahs in Genesis and Exodus are not given, thereby making it difficult to fix the chronology of the patriarchal period. The title itself derives from an Egyptian word meaning "the great house" (pe-ro), a destination of the royal palace as early as 2500 BC. In New Kingdom times (from the 16th century BC on),it came to be used for the king, in the same way as "the White House" can designate the American president or "the Crown," the British monarch. There are several candidates for the infamous title of "Pharoah of the Oppression," linked in the Bible with the bondage of the Israelites and Moses. The majority of scholars identify him with Rameses II (1347 - 1280 BC or 1300 - 1234 BC). The Exodus itself is held to have taken place under his son, Merneptah, with whom the decline of Egypt began. In Exodus 14:6, "He (Pharoah) ordered his chariot and took his men with him.(V.7) he took 600 of his picked chariots and the rest of the chariots of Egypt, with officers in all of them." This would indicate that Pharoah lead his entire army in pursuit of the Israelites. In Exodus 14:28, the Bible tells us that all of the Egyptians were lost in the sea. The Red Sea is actually, Yam Suf in Hebrew or Sea of Reeds. |
