Line 34:
:But when the gods inclined themselves to peace, to set the land (in) its right according to its accustomed manner, they established their son, who came forth from their limbs, to be Ruler, [[Ankh wedja seneb|L. P. H.]], of every land, upon their great throne, (even) Userkhare-Setepnere-Meriamon, L. P. H., Son of Re, Setnakht-Mererre-Meriamon, L. P. H. He was Khepri-Set, when he is enraged; he set in order the entire land which had been rebellious; he slew the rebels who were in the land of Egypt; he cleansed the great throne of Egypt; he was Ruler, L. P. H., of the Two Lands, on the throne of Atum. He gave ready faces, which had been turned away. Every man knew his brother who had been walled in. He established the temples in possession of divine offerings, to offer.<ref>James H. Breasted, Ancient Records of Egypt, Vol No.4,(1906), pp.198-199</ref>
 
Twosret's successor [[Setnakhte]]'s [[Elephantine stele]]<ref>R. Drenkhahn, ''Die Elephantine-Stele des Setnakht und ihr historischer Hintergrund'', Wiesbaden 1980</ref> records how he expelled these Asiatic rebels who, on their flight from Egypt, abandoned much of the gold, silver and copper which they had stolen from Egypt, and with which they had intended to hire reinforcements among the Asiatics. His pacification of Egypt is also referred to in the Great Harris Papyrus.<ref>Breasted, § 399</ref>
 
[[Setnakht]]'s [[Elephantine stele]] describes it further: ''His Majesty, life, prosperity, health, was like his father Seth who stretched out his arms in order to remove from Egypt those who led it astray, his strength surrounding (him) with protection."''<ref>Joan Shanley, God of Confusion?: An Examination of the Egyptian God Seth in New Kingdom Expressions of Royal Ideology, Section 287. Elephantine Stela of Sethnakht (2015), p.137</ref>
 
== Memory ==
Line 45:
It is possible that memories of these events were distortedly reported in the third century BCE by the [[Hellenistic]] Egyptian historian and priest [[Manetho]], who claimed that a certain Egyptian priest from [[Heliopolis (ancient Egypt)|Heliopolis]] called [[Osarseph]] led leprous Asiatics out of Egypt, in an Exodus later reportedly that of [[Moses]].<ref>[[Josephus]], ''[[Against Apion]]'', Book I, Chapter 28</ref>
 
C. Hauret suggests that Irsu's career also has a resemblance to that of the Biblical [[Joseph (Hebrew Bible)|Joseph]].<ref>Hauret c., (1959) "MoÏse était-il PrÊtre?" - Biblica, 1959 - JSTOR.</ref> [[Thomas Römer]]<ref>Romer T. "Tracking Some “Censored”"Censored" Moses Traditions Inside and Outside the Hebrew Bible" (Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel, Volume 1, Number 1, March 2012, pp. 64-76(13))</ref> writes that some think that "Osarseph is a polemical name for Akhenaton; others think of a combination of Joseph and Osiris."
