Where Science Meets Religion

And Pharaoh said, “Let me kill Moses, and let him call upon his Lord! I truly fear that he may change your traditions or cause mischief in the land.” New! Moses replied, “I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant person who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning.”

Surah Ghafir - 23-55 - Quran.com

 The identity of the pharaoh who wanted to kill Moses in the Bible is debated, but many scholars believe it was King Ramses II. Some evidence for this includes: 

• The Bible mentions building cities for Pharaoh, including Pithom and Ramses 
• Egyptian records show that the 19th dynasty kings launched a military program in the Levant 
• Ramses II built Per Atum, a city dedicated to his patron, Atum 
• The name Rameses appears in the Bible as a place name 

However, there is also ambiguity surrounding the identity of the Exodus pharaoh. The Bible has a recurring motif of erasing the name of an enemy, and some passages in the Bible may suggest that the Exodus pharaoh's name was intentionally erased.
