Who was the Pharaoh who was presented before Moses?

We should clarify that the Pharaoh of Exodus, Chapter 1 is not the same one mentioned in Chapters 5 and up. There were at least three pharaohs in the period of time from the emergence of "pharaoh who knew not Joseph" to the Pharaoh with whom Moses confronted. On his return from Egypt and, after so many pests, allowing the Israelites out of Egypt. Even can not be said that the pharaoh of 1:8, is the same as 2:15. This can be deduced studying the biblical text and history of Egypt.

Thus, we call "the Pharaoh of the Exodus" the one who was reigning at the time that this event occurred. It is also called the "Pharaoh of the oppression, the pharaoh who ordered the death of the firstborn Hebrew. There are two opinions as to who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus:

The first says that the Pharaoh of the oppression was Thutmose II and that the exodus was Anmenofis II (1450-1420).

The second argues that the oppression was Pharaoh Ramses II and the exodus fue Mernepthah.

Aunque ambas opiniones cuentan con buenos argumentos, desde el punto de vista bíblico, la primera es más aceptable. Si aceptamos la primera opinión encontramos que podemos estructurar cronológicamente el relato del Éxodo de la siguiente manera:

Amosis I (1580-1560 aprox.) fue el “rey que no conoció a José, que expulsó del país a los semitas hicksos. Sus sucesores Amenofis I, Tutmosis I, y Tutmosis II, oprimieron a Israel, sobre todo este último que mandó a matar a los niños hebreos. Su esposa Hatshepsut, Hija de Tutmosis I (y hermanastra de su esposo) fue la virtual gobernante de Egipto durante el reinado de su esposo y durante la minoría de edad his other brother, Thutmose III. This would, perhaps, the Egyptian princess prohijó Moses. A study of the life of this great woman, says that if she was the adoptive mother of Moses, then your character greatly influenced the life of Moses.

the death of this, Thutmose III, who hated her, made clear the tracks Hatshepshut government, and it may have been the pharaoh who tried to kill Moses, when he was forty years. Amenhotep II, Pharaoh would then be presented to which Moses and Aaron.

If the exodus was under Mernephtah (1253-1220), then Ramses II, who ruled for 65 years would be the pharaoh who oppressed Israel and persecuted Moses.
