Note 70 — X AMARNA AND THE BIBLE
Reading edition
Problems of chronology are acute. H. H. Rowley, From Joseph to Joshua (London: 1950) argues that Joseph was actually Akhenaton’s Prime Minister. Cf. pp. 119-120. Most contemporary scholars place Joseph’s entry into Egypt in Hyksos times (ca. 1720-1550 B.C.). Cf. G. Ernest Wright, Biblical Archaeology (Philadelphia: 1962), pp. 53-58
