We sometimes miss the obvious

The pyramids of the 12th dynasty had an inner core that was made of mudbricks.  They had an outer veneer of  limestone.  Over the years, the outer veneer has fallen away or been stolen exposing the inner core made of mudbricks resulting in considerable erosion.

Amenemhet III - Son of Sesostris III - Brother or father of Sobeknefru who adopted Moses. Amenemhet III was one of the pharaohs who made the Israelites make mudbricks which were used for the inner core of his pyramids at Hawara and Dashur. Moses fled from him after killing an Egyptian.

Sobeknefru, the princes who adopted Moses. She became pharaoh when her brother or father Amenemhet III died. She reigned for up to 8 yrs. When she died, there was nobody to inherit the throne and so the 12th dynasty ended. A quick succession of kings followed in the 13th dynasty until Neferhotep who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus.

Moses was raised by Sobeknefru in Pharaoh

The Step pyramid complex was thought to be a grain distribution center because it has a number of grain silos within it’s boundaries.

Joseph the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham is though to have built these silos to save Egypt from a seven year famine. He brought up all the land of Egypt by the time he was 44yrs old and he made the Pharaohs rich. The Bible does not say what he did with the remaining 66 yrs of his life. He also lived to the age of 110 and was given a Royal Egyptian burial. Like Imhotep, Joseph married the daughter of the Priest of On and imposed a 20% tax on the people excluding the priests. Many historians and theologians believe that Joseph and Imhotep were the same Person.

Our conscience is the still small voice within us. It reflects what is the condition of our heart. If the Holy Spirit is living in our heart; if we are a child of God; Born Again; Baptized in the Spirit, then the Holy Spirit can speak to us through our conscience. We need to be able to tune in to our conscience so that we can discern what the Spirit is telling us because those who are lead by the Spirit are Children of God.

Dates given in this diagram are based on the ages and genealogies given in the Bible. This chart differs slightly from those of other Biblical scholars in that the dates before the Exodus have been moved back by about 215 years. Many scholars have only allowed for 215 years of Egyptian slavery for the Israelites. The Bible actualy says that the Israelites were in Egypt for a period of 430 years. It can be calculated from the dates given in the Bible (Genesis Ch 11), that the flood occurred 582 years before Jacob entered Egypt (Jacob was 130 yrs old when he entered Egypt and Abraham was 100yrs old when he had Issac and Issac 60 yrs old when he had Jacob). Archaelogical evidence is increasingly pointing to the Exodus being in the 13th Egyptian Dynasty in 1445BC and this is confirmed by the Bible which says that Solomon began building the temple 480yrs after the Exodus (1Kings 6:1). If the Exodus date is correct, the flood of Noah would have occured around 2457 BC (1445+430+582).
