The name of the prophet Moses is known to any more or less educated person. But few people know that in his youth this man’s name was Khozarsif. Even fewer history buffs know that Hosarsiph is not a foundling of Jewish origin picked up by the pharaoh’s sister, but the illegitimate nephew of Ramesses XII, who went through priestly school in Egypt and was subsequently himself ordained to the great rank of priest. Why did the Pharaoh’s nephew have to flee from Egypt, and how did he become Moses, that is, “saved” - this is what this novel tells about.
