Hyksos

Term used by Egyptian historian Manetho (c.

280 bc) to designate the foreign rulers of the 15th and 16th dynasties in Egypt (1730?–1570?

bc).

Once called the shepherd kings, that expression is now thought to have come from a misrendering of an Egyptian text.

The Hyksos were Semites, probably entering Egypt from Syria and Palestine, though their exact origin is unknown.

They gradually infiltrated Egypt during the 18th century bc, and it is possible that some intermarriage took place.

This infiltration was aided by a weakening of Egyptian power as a result of internal dynastic rivalries.

Some of the Hyksos may have held Egyptian administrative posts before the actual Hyksos takeover, which was probably more of a swift political maneuver than a great military conquest.

Summary

Names are very important and tell a story.

The story these names tell us in Exodus 1:1 to Exodus 3:15

And these are the names (SHEMOT) of the descendants of the prince of God (ISRAEL) who were under the dominion of Hyksos taskmasters (TAX COLLECTORS), and when two midwives provided fairness (SHIPHRAH) and beauty (PUAH) to a man, who was passed over (HEBREW) a river for the Glory of God (JOCHEBED) and to exalt His people (AMRAM).

He was taken out the water (MOSES )by the daughter of God (BITHIA), who finds his wife at the well, the daughter of a friend of God (REUEL), in all his excellence (JETHRO).

This man becomes a shepherd, draws near to God in repentance and meets I AM, I will always BE (YHWH), whose name is forever and ever

AMEN
