Professor Immanuel Anati has recognized this Egyptian story, the famous Tale of Sinuhe , as having “a common matrix” [ Mountain of God , p. 158] with the Exodus account of Moses’ flight from pharaoh to the land of Midian.

The extent of the earth in the understanding of the biblical writer is given in Gen 10. The northern boundary is marked by the peoples around the Black Sea (Gen 10:2; Ezek 38:6). The southern boundary is marked by peoples living in the extreme south of the Arabian peninsula (Gen 10:7: cf. Matt 12:42)
