Inaccuracy of the Title of Pharoah or King


The kings of ancient Egypt during the time of Abraham, Joseph and Moses are constantly addressed with the title 'Pharaoh' in the Bible. The Qur'an, however, differs from the Bible: the sovereign of Egypt who was a contemporary of Joseph is named "King" (Arabic, Malik); whereas the Bible has named him "Pharaoh". As for the king who ruled during the time of Moses the Qur'an repeatedly calls him "Pharaoh" (Arabic, Fir`awn).

When the differences in minutiae between the Biblical and Qur'anic narrations are understood contextually by placing them directly into their ancient egyptological setting, sharp divisions between Biblical and Qur'anic narrations appear. By constantly referring to the sovereign of ancient Egypt during the time of Abraham and Joseph as 'Pharaoh', the Bible portrays an anachronistic setting not in consonance with the Egyptological data. These differences in detail between the Biblical and Qur'anic narrations appear to have great significance as clearly expose the writers lack of historical knowledge and accuracy in the Bible.
