Ezekiel the Tragedian, a Jew who likely lived in the second or first centuryB.C.E. in the vicinity of Egypt, composed a Greek play called Exagoge (ἐξαγωγή) “Drawing Out,” in which he retells the story of Moses and the Exodus. At one point, Moses, who serves as the narrator, recounts how Pharaoh’s daughter discovered him in the Nile (§13–31). Then h...
At approximately the same time that Exagoge was composed in Egypt, a Judean writer composed a Hebrew work known as Jubilees, in which the Angel of the Presence retells the stories of Genesis and much of Exodus to Moses, with multiple narrative and legal expansions. In the scene with Pharaoh’s daughter, the angel says to Moses: Jub 47:5And in those ...
In the biblical story, Pharaoh’s daughter’ just happened to appear at the Nile. In contrast, Biblical Antiquities of Pseudo-Philo, a 1st centuryC.E. text originally written in Hebrew, presents it as inspired by a prophetic dream (9:15–16): Now Pharaoh’s daughter came down to bathe in the river, as she had seen in dreams, and her maids saw the ark. ...
The first centuryC.E. historian Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, describes how Moses’s father Amram had prophetic knowledge that God would save the Israelites through Moses, and thus he—not his wife Jochebed—constructed the ark, put Moses in it, and placed it in the Nile, hoping that the baby would be discovered and saved. Josephus describ...
The rabbis also give Pharaoh’s daughter a name, Bityah “daughter of Yah,” the Israelite God (rather than an Egyptian god). They derive this name from 1 Chronicles 4:18, which in its genealogical list of Caleb’s descendants refers to a Pharaoh’s daughter—not necessarily this Pharaoh—by that name who married into the family. Leviticus Rabbah, a mid-f...
Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer, a midrashic work from the latter half of the first millenniumC.E., offers a less generous explanation for why Pharaoh’s daughter was bathing that day, and why she decided to adopt Moses (48:8): Although in this retelling, Bityah wasn’t driven by altruistic motives, she still earns a place in the world to come: Similarly, De...
The Bible’s account of Pharoah’s daughter is sparse, and later interpreters embellished her story. For some she was Thermuthis, named after an Egyptian goddess, for others Bityah, named after her conversion to belief in the Jewish God. In one telling, she tries to have Moses as heir to the throne, in another, she brings him up as an Israelite with ...
