Pharaoh's Daughter (Exodus)
The Pharaoh's daughter () in the story of the finding of Moses in the biblical Book of Exodus is an important, albeit minor, figure in Abrahamic religions. Though some variations of her story exist, the general consensus among Jews, Christians, and Muslims is that she is the adoptive mother of the prophet Moses. Muslims identify her with Asiya, the Great Royal Wife of the pharaoh. In either version, she saved Moses from certain death from both the Nile river and from the Pharaoh. As she ensured the well-being of Moses throughout his early life, she played an essential role in lifting the Hebrew slaves out of bondage in Egypt, their journey to the Promised Land, and the establishment of the Ten Commandments. Her name Exodus 2:5 does not give a name to Pharaoh's daughter or to her father; she is referred to in Hebrew as Baṯ-Parʿo (), "daughter of Pharaoh." The Book of Jubilees 47:5 and Josephus both call her Thermouthis (), also transliterated as Tharmuth and Thermutis, the ...

Pharaoh's Daughter (wife Of Solomon)
The Pharaoh's daughter is a figure in the Hebrew Bible who is described as marrying Solomon to cement a political alliance between the Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy), United Monarchy of Israel and Ancient Egypt, Egypt. Biblical narrative While there is no archaeological evidence of a marriage between an Egyptian princess, the daughter of a Pharaoh, and a king of Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy), united Israel, claims of one are made at several places in the Hebrew Bible. (Note: All scripture quotes are taken from the 1917 Jewish Publication Society of America Version, Jewish Publication Society Bible, now in the public domain.) A marriage alliance *1 Kings 3:1 says, :"And Solomon became allied to Pharaoh king of Egypt by marriage, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about." The fact that Pharaoh's daughter has been singled o ...

The Pharaoh's Daughter
''The Pharaoh's Daughter'' (; ), is a ballet choreographed by Marius Petipa to music by Cesare Pugni. The libretto was a collaboration between Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Petipa from Théophile Gautier's ''Le Roman de la momie''. It was first presented by the Imperial Ballet at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre, in St. Petersburg, Russia, on 18 January (30 January) 1862, with the design by A. Roller, G. Wagner (scenery), Kelwer and Stolyakov (costumes). The principal dancers at the opening night were Carolina Rosati (Mummy/Aspicia), Nicholas Goltz (Pharaoh), Marius Petipa (Ta-Hor), Timofey Stoukolkin as John Bull, Lubov Radina (Ramzaya), Felix Kschessinskiy (King of Nubia), and Lev Ivanov (Fisherman). For Petipa it was the last role: he has finished his career as a dancer; he became ballet master. The Sergeyev Collection, which is part of the Harvard University Theatre Collection, contains choreographic notations of the Imperial Ballet's production of ''T ...

Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill
Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill (; born 1952) is a modern Irish poet whose works have been described as having a "major influence in revitalizing the Irish language in modern poetry". Biography Born in Lancashire, England, of Irish parents, she moved to Ireland at the age of 5 and was brought up in the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht and in Nenagh, County Tipperary. Her uncle, Monsignor Pádraig Ó Fiannachta of Dingle, was an authority on Munster Irish. Her mother brought her up to speak English, though she was an Irish speaker herself. Her father and his side of the family spoke very fluent Irish and used it every day, but her mother thought it would make life easier for Nuala if she spoke only English instead. She studied English and Irish at UCC in 1969 and became part of the ' Innti' group of poets. In 1973, she married Turkish geologist Doğan Leflef and lived abroad in Turkey and Holland for seven years. One year after her return to County Kerry in 1980, she published her first col ...
