If the Pharaoh of Joseph was one of the Hyksos or Shepherd kings, as has been the common view, and if the Pharaoh "that knew not Joseph" was, as is the general belief, Rameses II, the period of 430 years would about correspond to the historical data. Their oppression grew out of the fear of the king lest they should assist some of the invaders that constantly harassed Egypt on the North.
Rameses will 'submit' I am to I submit! And to what? to the judgment and the choice of a wilful child!" With these words he threw the letter so vehemently on to the table, that it slipped off on to the floor. The mute slave picked it up, and laid it carefully on the table again, while his master threw a ball into a silver bason.
After his death he was succeeded by his son Seti, who sought to earn a legitimate claim to the throne by marrying Tuaa, the grand-daughter of Amenophis III. She presented him with an only son, whom he named after his father Rameses.
In due course they arrived in Egypt and the priests took their statue to the temple of Khensu Nefer-hetep, and handed over to that god all the gifts which the Prince of Bekhten had given them, keeping back nothing for their own god. After this Khensu Pa-ari-sekher returned to his temple in peace, in the thirty-third year of the reign of Rameses II., having been absent from it about eight years.
Again, clear and with offensive emphasis, Siptah's voice was heard disputing, in the general babble. "Magnify the cowardice of the Rebu if you will, but it was Har-hat who made them afraid," he was saying. The slow eyes of Rameses turned in the direction of the tacit challenge. Menes' black brows knitted at Siptah, but Kenkenes came to the rescue.
In those days the great Pharaoh, Rameses the second, and after him his son Meneptah who succeeded when he was already old, since the mighty Rameses was taken to Osiris after he had counted one hundred risings of the Nile, dwelt for the most part at the city of Tanis in the desert, whereas I dwelt with my parents at the ancient, white-walled city of Memphis on the Nile.
"Other Syrians and Libyans command large troops of mercenaries, and the herald Ben Mazana, one of the highest dignitaries of the court the Egyptians call him Rameses in the sanctuary of Ra has a Hebrew father." "And neither he nor the others are scorned on account of their birth?" "This is not quite so. But why do you ask these questions?" "I could not sleep." "And so such thoughts came to you.
Now he stood near a woman of the better class, dissolved in tears because her husband had fallen in the last battle. "Can you read?" he asked her; "up there on the architrave is the name of Rameses, with all his titles. Dispenser of life, he is called. Aye indeed; he can create widows; for he has all the husbands killed."
But his mood soon changed, his breath came quickly, his breast heaved, and an ominous light glowed in his eyes. He was not thinking of his love, but of the revenge that was even dearer to him. "That brood of Rameses!" he muttered. "I will sweep them all away together the king, and Mena, and those haughty princes, and many more I know how.
Once more the word to "halt" was given, and as the guard perceived the glare of torches in the direction where the dogs were barking loudest, they hurried forward and came up with the author of the disturbance near the Pylon of the temple erected by Seti I., the deceased father of the reigning King Rameses II.
