THUTMOSE I (jan 1, 1526 BC – jan 1, 1518 BC)
Description:
Issued decree to simply slay Hebrew boysI issues the mandate to throw Hebrew male children into the Nile
It is reasonable that Thutmose I had witnessed earlier attempts to retard the growth of the Israelite nation, and was aware that those attempts were unavailing;
therefore he resorted to this stratagem.
Further, because Thutmose I came
to the throne just months before Moses was born, we have an explanation as to how Aaron (3 years Moses’ senior)
escaped the dictum to drown all new-born Hebrew male children.
