Talk:Moses

Possible addition to the 'Film' subject + addition of a Theatre subject
I was wondering, would it be possible to add that the film 'The Prince of Egypt' depicts Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh as Rameses? It's just so as to make clear that the film is merely an adaptation with artistic license. Also, a musical theatre adaptation of 'The Prince of Egypt' was released in London in 2020, on the West End. Could someone add in that subject, to contribute to the depictions of Moses in popular culture? Thanks! Two Red Engines

The Etymology
While the Wikipedia page gives the Egyptian version of Yehuda's etymology as "mw-zꜣ", this is actually a neat piece of original scholarship. Yehuda and Ulmer (the source) actually propose "mw-š". This section should be revised beyond this issue, but nevertheless it is inappropriate to allow such a misattribution to stand.

 * Done. I changed the category for Deuteronomy by adding "people". Since it's a subcategory, the main category doesn't need to be listed. -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 04:13, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Egyptian etymology
This material has been removed as based on non-RS. I am not so sure about that, this "Sesh kemet" guy may be batshit crazy, or maybe he's the chair of Egyptology at Oxford making good use of his time off. Maybe others will be able to figure it out. Here it is:

The various possible Egyptian forms of the name and their respective meanings are : ms-is/mos-is or ms-isw/mos-isu (born of a reed), ms-SAi/mos-shai (born of a bundle of flax), ms-H/mos-eḥ or ms-mHy/mos-meḥy (born of flax), mw-sA/mu-sa (son of the Nile), msa/mosa (hand birth, 'pulled or birth'), ms-mw/mos-mu (born of water), ms/mos or msw/mosu (child), msy/mosy (child of), msi (to produce, bring forth), msyt/mosyt (those who are born), Ptah-mose (in the case of Moses as a nickname).
