The mindset of the ‘chosen people’ was given to the Jews by their founder, Osarsiph. Who later in life was called Thothmose because of his penchant for writing among other attributes but in an effort to hide the true origin of their religion the Jews shortened the name of Thothmose to Moses. This we know from historical documents as well as scripture.
Most prophets and biblical scholars acknowledge we get God from Moses, it is from this great Egyptian high priest that the thread runs.
From Exodus we know that Moses always stayed true to the Egyptian pantheon. To understand how the mysteries traveled from Egypt is to know the secret of Exodus.
…….In our temples we have preserved from earliest times a written record of any great or splendid achievement or notable event which has come to our ears whether it occurred in your part of the world, or here, or anywhere else;…..- Unknown Egyptian Priest
During the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus 285-247 B.C. Manetho, an Egyptian High Priest of Heliopolis recorded the entire history of his own land in the Greek tongue by translating it out of their sacred documents.
Josephus writes thus quoting Manetho verbatim:
“After those that were sent to work in the quarries had continued in that miserable state for a long while, the king was desired that he would set apart the city Avaris, which was then left desolate of the shepherds, for their habitation and protection; which desire he granted them. Now this city, according to the ancient theology, was Typho’s city. But when these men were gotten into it, and found the place fit for a revolt they appointed themselves a ruler out of the priests of Heliopolis, whose name was Osarsiph, and they took their oaths that they would be obedient to him in all things.”
Manetho continues “it was also reported that the priest who ordained their polity and their laws was by birth of Heliopolis, and his name Osarsiph from Osiris, who was the god of Heliopolis; but that when he was gone over to these people, his name was changed and he was called Moses.”
Osariph is quite a good Egyptian name and its meaning is clear Child of Osiris.
Josephus himself was of the opinion that Moses was a priest, a fact that he was not happy with but nevertheless does not dispute, though, if untrue he would most certainly deny in explicit terms.
The late E.A. Wallis Budge, one of the premier Egyptologists of the 20th century agrees. “I prefer the opinion of Manetho who had full access to all the documentary evidence available to that of modern critics. Moses and Aaron his brother and Miriam his sister were Egyptians, though the offspring of Hebrews domiciled in Egypt.”
Let me state that I do not find Manetho to be accurate in some things pertaining to the dating of the dynasties as he was up against the Egyptian fondness for ‘the First Time’ in which events were shuffled through time as a religious mandate.
But for the type of data as we find regarding Moses Manetho is quite reliable. Again history and scripture are aligned which is about as good as it gets in biblical study.
