Early Life
king Rameses was born in Egypt while the Hebrews were in slavery. As a toddler, His father The Great Pharaoh Seti believed that the Hebrews would become powerful and overthrow the Egyptians. So Seti ordered every newborn baby boy born to the Hebrews to be thrown into the Nile River. While Seti's soldiers did this horrible deed, A Hebrew mother saved her baby by placing him in a basket and setting him adrift on the Nile so he would be safe. The baby was discovered by Queen Tuya, Seti's wife who adopted the baby and named him Moses. Ramsees and Moses grew up best friends and brothers. He would often get in trouble for something Moses did. He was named Prince Regent by his father, and then he in turn named Moses " Royal Chief Architect ". Soon after Moses fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian, Seti died and Rameses became Pharaoh.
Exodus
Some23 years after becoming Pharaoh, he and his wife had a son named Amun-her-khepeshef. When his son was 8 his adopted brother Moses returned to Egypt. At first Rameses was excited to see his brother again and even pardoned Moses of his crimes, but after Moses revealed why he was there ( to convince Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go ) Rameses became angry with him. He then doubled the Hebrews work, which didn't go over to well with the slaves. Later on that day, he and his son was on a boat on the Nile when Moses demanded that the slaves should be let go. Rameses then ordered his guards to arrest Moses, but Moses turned the entire River Nile into blood. Egypt was plagued by Frogs, Pestilence, Flies, Death of Livestock, Boils, Flaming Hail, Locusts, and Darkness, but Pharaoh would still not let the Hebrews go. While in darkness, Moses came to Rameses and asked him onelast time to let the Hebrews go. Rameses at first was very hostile but then remembered the times when he and Moses grew up together, but when he saw his frightened son his heart was hardened and he claimed he was going to kill the firstborn sons of the Hebrews. Ironically that night the Angel of Death passed Egypt and took the lives of every Egyptian firstborn son. This plague forced Pharaoh to let the Hebrews go. After the Hebrews left his heart was hardened again and he took his army and trapped the Hebrews at the Red Sea. God then blocked the Egyptian army with a pillar of fire and parted the Sea allowing the Hebrews to escape. Rameses tried to follow the Hebrews but he was thrown from his chariot and his entire
