The word Pharaoh is a title that originates from the Egyptian term per-aa, literally great house,

describing the royal palace. Historically, however, Pharaoh only started being used as a title for the king
much later in Egyptian history, during the New Kingdom period.

Rije ''Faraon'' je naziv koji potie od egipatske rijei ''per-aa'', doslovno ''velika kua'', opisujui
kraljevsku palatu. Historijski, kakogod, ''Faraon'' kao titula za kralja se poinje koristiti mnogo kasnije u
Egipatskoj historiji, tokom perioda Novog Kraljevstva.

Pharaoh: Term used regularly by modern writers to refer to the Egyptian


king. The word is the Greek form of the ancient Egyptian phrase per-aa
(the great house) which was originally used to refer to the royal palace
rather than the king. The great house was responsible for taxation of the
lesser houses (perw), such as the temple lands and private estates. It was
only from the New Kingdom onwards (1550-1069 BC) that the term was
used to refer to the king himself [26].

A TIMELINE OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN HISTORY


Ancient Egyptian history is usually divided into periods roughly corresponding to the thirty Dynasties of
kings listed by Manetho, an Egyptian chronicler of the 3rd century BCE, . I have summarised some of these
dates below from Nicolas Grimals A History of Ancient Egypt [27]:
N. Grimal (Trans. Ian Shaw), A History of Ancient Egypt, Blackwell Publishers: Oxford, 1988 (1992 print),
pp. 389 395.

DURING WHICH PERIODS DID JOSEPH AND MOSES LIVE IN EGYPT?


Professor Emeritus of Egyptology, Kenneth Kitchen, dates the story of Joseph entering Egypt to the
Second Intermediate Period (1674 - 1553 BCE) [28]. The exodus of Moses from Egypt, however, is
estimated by scholars to have taken place later in history. They place him within the New Kingdom period.
According to the Dictionary of Proper Names and Places in The Bible: Moses career unfolds ca. 1250, the
date generally accepted for the Exodus. [29] Similarly, the Encyclopaedia Judaica describes Moses as a:
leader, prophet, and lawgiver (first half of the 13th century BCE).[30]
