‘Who Was Joseph’s Pharaoh?’ (2019)

Who was the Pharaoh who took Joseph out of jail and made him the prime minister? We’d love to know that, but the Bible doesn’t tell us.

Who Was Joseph’s Pharaoh?

Each member of ancient Egypt’s royalty had a number of names for different occasions, many of which incorporated the names of their false gods. “He in Whom Senmut Is Satisfied”… is coming for dinner. It gets confusing after a while! Jewish scribes may not have cared to write out all those pagan names. And maybe they thought it didn’t matter.

“Scholars” who don’t believe a word of the Bible get the Wikipedia welcome mat. But that doesn’t mean we have to listen to them. “We don’t know the name of Joseph’s pharaoh, therefor none of those things happened!” They can take that and stuff it.
