- a new king:
- Probably Rameses Miamum, or his son Amenophis, who succeeded him about this period; and by his not knowing Joseph is meant his not acknowledging his obligation to him. "Yea, I¹ hatedª°¹ all¹ my labourª which I¹¹ had takenª under¹ the sun:ª because I should leave²°¹¹ it unto the manª that shall be¹¹ afterª me. ... And who¹ knowethª° whether he shall be¹ a wiseª [man] or¹ a fool?ª yet shall he have ruleª° over all¹ my labourª wherein I have laboured,ª°¹ and wherein I have shewed myself wiseª°¹ under¹ the sun.ª This¹ [is] also¹ vanity.ª" {Ecc 2:18-19} + "Now there was foundª° in it a poorª wiseª man,ª and he¹ by his wisdomª deliveredª°¹ the city;ª yet no¹ manª rememberedª°¹ that same¹ poorª man.ª" {Ecc 9:15} + "Tillª² anotherª kingª arose,ª° whichª knewª° notª Joseph.ª" {Act 7:18}
