Exodus 3:10

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Come now therefore,..... Leave thy flock, thy family, and the land of Midian:and I will send thee unto Pharaoh: this Pharaoh, according to Eusebius, was Cenchres, the successor of Achoris; but according to Bishop Usher , his name was Amenophis, who immediately succeeded Ramesses Miamun, under whom Moses was born.

Clemens of Alexandria relates from Apion, and he, from Ptolemy Mendesius, that it was in the times of Amosis that Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt; but Tacitus says, the name of this king was Bocchoris, who obliged them to go out, being advised by an oracle to do so; and so says Lysimachus :that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt; and conduct them through the wilderness to the land of Canaan, and so be their deliverer, guide, and governor under God, who now gave him a commission to act for him.
