Peace Wakas

peace DQ,

Wakas, what was the title of the rulers of ancient Egypt?

Dont really know... Pharaohs? If you meant the Arabic... firAAa (root Fa-Ra-Ayn)?

Wakas

Yes, I do know. Yesterday, I was talking to Muslim sister and she said that I was incorrect in referring to the ruler of Egypt, during Yusef's time, as Pharoah, because the Arabic word for him was malik, king. She said Pharoah, during Mose's time, was not a title meaning king/ruler, but that was that king's personal name. I don't believe Pharoah was his personal names, however, I did find it interesting that malik was used instead of Pharoah. Any thoughts?

Mormons -- a group of Christians whom many Christians consider NOT Christian -- have a scripture in which Pharoah is given as the name of the king of Egypt. Maybe the Muslim sister with whom you discussed this learned it from Mormons.

Peace
