Why was amenhotep ii called the pharaoh of the exodus?

Who was the father of the Egyptian king?

Amenhotep was an ancient Egyptian name. Its notable bearers were: Amenhotep I, Amenhotep II, Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten). The first Amenhotep was the second Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt. His reign is generally dated from 1526 to 1506 BC. That dynasty was related to the Hebrew exodus.

Did the pharaohs son in exodus die?

Yes. Webensenu, son of Amenhotep II, the alleged Exodus pharaoh. It was once thought that Ramesses II, and his firstborn died. However, his son died long after the alleged Exodus date of 1260 BC. Thus, our only candidates for the Exodus prince who died is either Webensenu, son of Amenhotep, or Amenemhat, son of Thutmose III. Thus, your question is answered. The firstborn of pharaoh was killed in the final plague: The Plague of Death over the Firstborn. Every firstborn, including the crown prince, was killed by the Angel of Death.

Which pharaoh enslved the Hebrews in Egypt?

It is generally thought that the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus was Ramses II. The Exodus, or dividing of the waters, probably occurred in the area between the Bitter Lakes and The Red Sea.

Was Ramesses II pharaoh of Egypt during the Exodus?

The book of Jasher (mentioned twice in the Bible) verifies this. In Jasher Chapter 77, we read that Adikam was very wise but thick in the flesh, and of short stature about 1 cubit and a span. He was exremely ugly and had a beard that reached to the floor. He was the 2nd son of Malul also known as Meror, King of Egypt. Adikam exceeded his father in wickedness and the yolk over the children of Israel. According to 1 Kings 6:1 the Exodus occurred about 1440 BC and Raamses II reigned later around 1250 BC which is the date which most people hold as the Exodus date. Little archaeological evidence is found to support the late Exodus date but plenty supports the earlier date under a different Pharaoh. Thus the Biblical date is here supported by the data. Some interesting data which seems to support this is the following. Although the mummy of Amenhotep II (who ruled c. 1450-1425 BC) was discovered in 1898, with no sign that he drowned at sea, a close perusal of the Biblical account in Exodus14:23-31 does not state that he entered the sea with his army, which was destroyed when the waters returned. If Amenhotep II was the pharaoh of the Exodus, then his son would have been killed in the tenth and final plague (Exodus12:29). What is interesting to note in this regardis that it appears likely that Thutmose IV (who ruled c.1425-1412) was not the eldest son of Amenhotep II. Between the paws of the sphinx at Geza is what is called the 'dream inscription' where the young future ruler dreams that he would one day be pharaoh. Such a dream would have been pointless if he was the son of Amenhotep II, since the right to rule was at that time passed on by family right, so it would have naturally fallen to him anyway, not requiring any justification in the form of a dream.

What pharaoh was in power in 1441 BC?

I would say Rames II. If this date is the date supposed to be the exodus out of Egypt by Moses then Ramses II is a logical answer.

Was Ramses II the pharaoh of the Exodus?

A:Although the Bible confidently dates the Israelite Exodus from Egypt at around 1440 BCE, there are certainly good reasons for believing that Ramses II was the pharaoh of the Exodus, since it was he who built the city of pi-Ramses, mentioned in the story of the Exodus. The Amarna letters prove conclusively that the Canaanite rulers were still in full control of the land just a few decades before his reign began. Furthermore, archaeologists say that Hebrew settlements gradually began to appear in the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland during the reign of Ramses II. However, it could not have been Ramses II who pursued the Hebrews out of Egypt, as he died peacefully as an old man and was buried in the Valley of the Kings, whereas Exodus 14:28 says that the pharaoh of the Exodus drowned in pursuit of the fleeing Israelites. For that matter, it could not have been any other pharaoh of the Late Bronze Age, since they have all been accounted for, and none died by drowning.There are just too many discrepancies between the Exodus story and what we now know of history, so that nearly all scholars now believe there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Pharaoh Ramses II died peacefully, unaware that the Israelites were beginning to develop settlements in the northern reaches of the Egyptian empire.

What pharaoh was mentioned in the Bible?

AnswerRameses II, who ruled Egypt from 1279 to 1212 BCE, was once thought to be the pharaoh mentioned in Genesis. Certainly, it could not have been an earlier pharaoh, as Exodus 12:37 says the Israelites journeyed from Rameses, a city named for Rameses II, to Succoth.
