📖 About This Episode: What happened to Moses before he fled Egypt for Midian? Exodus tells us surprisingly little about his years in Pharaoh’s household. But the first-century Jewish historian Josephus tells a much fuller story.

In this video, we examine Josephus’s account of Moses’s childhood in the Egyptian court, his campaign against the Ethiopians, the siege of Saba, and his marriage to Tharbis. We also compare Josephus with earlier accounts preserved by Artapanus and Philo of Alexandria.

Did these writers preserve details the Bible leaves out, or were they expanding Moses’s story in ways that reflected their own times? We’ll distinguish what Exodus says from what these later sources claim—and consider how Christians should read those traditions today.

That You May Know Him, Episode 315.
