Two Pharaohs: Contrasting Approaches to Authority
One Pharaoh, during Joseph's time, sought and valued wisdom from a slave, leading to the kingdom's salvation. Conversely, another Pharaoh during Moses's time was unreceptive to the wisdom of an adopted prince, resulting in the kingdom's destruction.
