  • The Exodus pharaoh at the time of the Exodus According to Dewey M. Beegle Disputed Scholarship & press 1

    Disputed: Encyclopaedia Britannica's article on Ramses II says historical and archaeological evidence does not support identifying him with the pharaoh of the Book of Exodus.

    Beegle makes this identification only if the Exodus took place about 1290 BCE.

    If this is true, then the oppressive pharaoh noted in Exodus (1:2–2:23) was Seti I (reigned 1318–04), and the pharaoh during the Exodus was Ramses II (c. 1304–c. 1237).
