The Old Testament tells the story of Moses, a Hebrew who lived in Egypt, and his relationship with the Egyptian pharaoh. Although the identity of the pharaoh is not known for sure, Ramses the Great or his successor Merneptah are popular choices. It was after this scene that the Biblical 10 Plagues afflicted the Egyptians and led the pharaoh to let Moses lead his Hebrew followers out of Egypt.
