"So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt." ~ Genesis 45:8

Just how literal and figurative this statement is, is a matter of due consideration. Whether at the time of this statement it was literally true that Joseph had entered into a marrital relationship with the house of Egypt, or whether it was but a figurative position given Joseph's raised status, or even if it where but a prophetic foreshadowing; the statement is there and the statement is made. 'God hath made me [Joseph] a father to Pharaoh.' And not only a father to Pharaoh alone, being a chief supervisor to the Pharaoh and political governor and ruler over the people of Egypt, but also Joseph was 'Lord of all Pharaoh's house.' In this second consideration of being Lord over Pharaoh's entire house, the royal house of Egypt, ought not one to ask just how might Joseph, the son of Jacob, become Lord and father over Pharaoh and Pharaoh's house? Does this not speak of some political marriage fact that Joseph, if not by his marriage to Aseneth, the daughter of the high priest of On, placed himself as a potiential ancestor to a future Pharaoh; that by some other political marriage arrangement Joseph has not become attached to the house of Pharaoh and thus an ancestor to the Pharaoh who had chosen to forget Joseph and choose Egypt over Israel in the days of Moses?

"And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard." ~ Genesis 41:2

Now when Joseph did so weep aloud, for the house of Pharaoh to have heard Joseph cring aloud in that room, certainly Joseph was then in the palace and very 'house' were Pharaoh and his immediate family lived and resided. Joseph and his family, his wife and sons and daughters, did not live out amoung the people apart from Pharaoh at this time, nor even when the family of Jacob came down into the land of Goshen, would Joseph remove himself from that palace, which had also become the residence of Joseph, his house and family residence even as 'the lord of the entire house of Pharaoh'. Now as stated in the regular text, this is not an objectionable arrangement even according to the laws of Israel and marriages needing to be within the Semetic house for the Kings or Pharaoh's of this age were of the Hyksos also descendants of Shem as were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Joseph had not marriage outside of the 'family' in marrying Aseneth the daughter of the priest of On. He was of the Hyksos family also. And it would not be a far reach that Joseph would be so tightly politically bound to such Hyksos Pharaohs of Egypt to actually become an ancestor to that Pharaoh who ruled in the coming days of Moses.

" ... for a seer will I raise up to deliver my people out of the land of Egypt; and he shall be called Moses. And by this name he shall know that he is of thy [Joseph's] house; for [because] he shall be nursed by the king's [Pharaoh's] daughter, and shall be called her son." ~ JST Genesis 50:29

A carefull and contemplative reading of this particular verse reveals much to the inquiring mind. The Lord God Jehovah, even Jesus Christ, was speaking to Joseph of Egypt concerning the promises and prophecies made unto him of his house and descendants. In that verse the Lord first states that Joseph Smith, the prophet from Joseph of Egypt who should be raised up in the latter days, would be like unto Moses. And then as given above in the rest of verse 29, the Lord clearly states to Joseph of Egypt that this Moses would come to know and understand that he, Moses, would also be of the promised house and blessing of Joseph of Egypt by the legal adoptive process of Moses being raised up in the house of Pharaoh by the daughter of Pharaoh, thus being her son and the descendant son of Joseph of Egypt, whose very house had become the house of Pharaoh both politically and not also based on actual descendantcy, Joseph himself being that father and ancestor to this current Pharaoh and his daughter, who at that time did not rule Egypt as king, one of the Hyksos kings. And this though that this Pharaoh 'did not know or policitally choose to 'know' Joseph his Israelite ancestor', but would rather choose Egypt and Egypt's Gods over Israel and Israel's God Jehovah. What a sad fate of affairs, that a descendant of Joseph would be such that he knew not, remembered not, Joseph and his Israelite heritage.

"Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph" ~ Exodus 1:8

Now this implies both that the 'previous kings' had known and so recognized Joseph as being father of Pharaoh and lord of the house of Pharaoh, and which this present Pharoah did and/or would not. That this Pharaoh, being a descendant of Joseph son of Jocab (Israel), would not choose to recognize Joseph and Israel, and would forsake the God of Israel, Jehovah, for the God's of Egypt becomes increasingly significant when one considers that when Moses is brought back to stand before him, The Lord does one by one in the plagues of Egypt show in power that Jehovah, the God of Israel is God and more powerful than any and all the Gods of Egypt which this particular Pharaoh of the house of Joseph has chosen over Jehovah. What irony and signifisence is lost by not having an understanding of the mercies of God in showing before this Israelite Pharaoh the folley of his way in choosing Egypt over Israel and what stiffneckedness and stubruness of heart is shown forth in this Israelite Pharaoh to not relent in his rebellion against God, his God of his father Joseph?

Just what causes sus hard heartedness among the children of God? Of a son of the priesthood as was Cain when he rebelled against God an chose Lucifer over Him though he had even spoken with and talked with God? And not of this Pharaoh who was of Israelite descent to so openly rebell and denigh the God of his fathers, he so selecting to 'not know Joseph' his ancestor in lew of his selected preference in the God of Egypt? Cain, a son of the priesthood did rise up in his rebellion and wickedness and did murder his brother Abel. And even so did this Pharaoh raise up and murder his own kindred in the slaying of the Hebrew children, from which Moses was ironically preserved to only become one of the house of Pharaoh it self. And further how ironical it is that Moses by virtue of being a part of this rebellious house of Joseph, of Pharaoh, would be recognized as being of the house and covenenant of Joseph to the extent that as such he Moses would be raised up as an adopted son of Joseph to lead Israel out of Egypt.

And here we might well also mention that when Moses the adopted son of Joseph did retire himself as the prophet of Israel, he did but so select another of the house of Joseph in Joshua another son of the covenant who did also so descenant out of the house of Joseph, Nun being Joshua's father being the then recognized heir of that covenant. Whether such was at one time all part of the record of Moses and so edited and deleted from the Jewish perspective kept by them in the Bible will likely be exposed in that day when the plates of brass shall come forth, which record will indeed give a fuller version of Moses' writings than does our current Bible as the Inspired Translation of Joseph Smith does already reveal to be in fact to the extent of his translation of those very writings of Moses given by the inspiration of God (See JST translation and also the Book of Moses in the Pearl of Great Price for comparison to the Bible of today).

Now there are some contrived or constructed theories which do make of the Pharaohs of Egypt Hebrew. This in one respect come from associating the Hyksos as actually being the Hebrews or Israelites on the one hand and on another hand, the Pharaoh of Egypt is Hebrew as a descendant of Joseph. While these make for interesting perusal, their theories are of couse suspect. Such works as 'The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt' and 'Jesus the Last Pharaoh' are of such a nature. Thus the concept is not out of the realm of consideration an from such indications as given in JST Genesis 50:29, such may well be the case that there were Hebrew Pharaohs. But certainly the true story of how this was or might have been has been lost and one ought not to buy into such detailed texts as mentioned as they are not doctrine though some truth may be in them, it is most certainly the case, as they conflect greatly on with each other upon how it is, therefore either one or both are certainly are not correct in their prepared theory though supposedly 'well documented'.

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the dislands of the sea." ~ Old Testament | Isaiah 11:11

Not that it proves everything conclusively, but certainly if there remained in Egypt some of Israel when they departed out of captivity, then when it came time to gather Israel, they would need to gather even those of Israel that main have remained as being of Pharaoh's court and as indicated by the daughter of the king being of the house of, and that Joseph would know that Moses was of his house of Joseph, etc.

And again in the 18th chapter of Isaiah, it has been deduced and written into the topics heading of the chapter that 'The Lord will smite and destroy Egypt, the the Lord will turn and heal her, nad both Egypt and Assyria shall be blessed with Israel" It would seem that during those associations in the land of Egypt and and Assyria with Israel being in those lands, the a mixed, sifted, sprinkling of the seed of Israel will be found in those lands still. And likely some of them will even be found in high ranking positions to low ranking position, such as the remnant of the house of Pharaoh by whom Moses was considered to have been of the house of Pharaoh because he was raised up as the king's daugher. And that depicts that a marriage of one of the children, a son of Joseph, married into the royal house, already being such a close part to it. And as to impropiety of such a marriage, it is to be remembered that at the time the Semite Hykos were in rule in Egypt, and thus they would have but marriages would therefore be Semite to Semite as was Joseph's to Aseneth.

And since the Pharaoh of Joseph was Israelite his posterity would be of be Israelite though brought up in the ways of the Egyptian. So much so that it came to pass the a Pharaoh of Joseph had been so indocrinated into the Egyptian that he had turned and forgotten Joseph to the extend that he sided with the Egyptains to and extend of an extermination order of inphant male children of Isararl against his own people of his birth in favor of his Egyptian position in the Egyptian royal house.

"In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
"Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance." ~ Old Testament | Isaiah 19:24-25

Now how else would the Lord say unto Egypt, "Blessed be Egypt my people?" The Lord's inheritance was to be Israel. And there are some threads of recognition here that amoung the Egyptains are the Children of Israel to be found in with the Egyptains. To what extent this relationship is of real existence, concerter this last quotation from Isiah 21 verses 11-12:

"And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people which shall be left, from bAssyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
"And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
"The aenvy of Ephraim also shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim." ~ Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 21:11-13

It would seem from this type of inclusion that the Egupt and Assyria have a 'relative' relationhip with israel.
