Some explanations
The terms “Abrahamic” and “Pharaonic” refer to two distinct historical and cultural contexts, each with its own set of religious, historical, and cultural connotations.
- Abrahamic: This term is primarily associated with the Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These religions are called Abrahamic because they all trace their origins to the patriarch Abraham, a key figure in their religious texts. The Abrahamic religions share certain beliefs and narratives, such as the creation story, the figure of Abraham himself, and certain ethical principles. They originated in the Middle East and have had a significant influence on Western civilization, shaping its philosophy, ethics, and law.
- Pharaonic: This term relates to ancient Egypt, particularly the period when it was ruled by pharaohs. The word “pharaonic” is often used to describe anything related to the rulers, culture, religion, or monumental architecture (like pyramids and temples) of ancient Egypt. The religion of ancient Egypt was polytheistic, with a pantheon of gods and goddesses, and was intertwined with concepts of afterlife and ritual. The culture and beliefs of Pharaonic Egypt were distinct from those of the Abrahamic traditions, with different religious texts, gods, and cosmologies.
The connotation between the two terms is primarily in their distinct historical and religious contexts. While Abrahamic religions have a monotheistic belief system centered around a single, omnipotent God, Pharaonic religion was polytheistic and involved complex rituals and beliefs about the afterlife. The meeting of these two worlds occurred historically, for instance, in the biblical narrative of the Exodus, where the Israelites, following the Abrahamic God, are said to have left Egypt, which was under Pharaonic rule. This story, while a cornerstone in Jewish and Christian traditions, is not corroborated by Egyptian historical records.
In modern times, the understanding of these two terms often reflects the broader dialogue and study of ancient civilizations and their religious and cultural systems. They represent two different, yet influential, ancient traditions that have shaped human history in various ways.

Sarai was the daughter of Haran, one of Abraham’s two brothers. Her name at first was Sarai, but when the Almighty later changed Abraham’s name from Abram to Abraham, He also changed Sarai’s name to Sarah. Saran and Sarah both mean “Princess.” She was regarded as one of the greatest princesses in the world (Talmud, Berachot 13a).

Srikrishna is the incarnation, he has all the names…
the approximate translation shall be-
Oh Beloved Krishna, Oh Govinda, Oh Hari, Hey Murari, Oh Lord Narayana, Ho Vasudeva [all names of Krishna]. I worship you with my heart and soul.

The message is almost the same every where .
Our basic needs , wants and desires are also the same
But then what happens which causes so much of hatred , violence and injustice ?
Intolerance
Ignorance
Fanatism
Pride
Radicals
Greed
Lust
Power
So many evils
all lead to violence
And blood shed
but the color of the blood is the same
all over the world
same blood when flows out of the body
can give life
can take a life also !
I believe good still prevails…
And people of good will are still majority
When we look at numbers in absolute or in relative way…
The outcome is quite different…
We need to look what unites us at service of menkind: humanity…
And law is a fundamental way to protect society and individuals …
People of good will are the soul of mankind and help humanity to survive

Hi, I know Abraham in the bible, but I don’t know about Abrahamic Testments. This sounds completely new to me. Are these books about the same Abraham in the Bible or is there another man with the same name? I like history and the truth about God. I will be interested in reading about them. My second question is by whom and where was these Testments written?Thank you for letting me know about a new thing to discover.Mary
Dear Mary,Yes, it is the biblical Abraham indeed. The one we know from the ancient testament. Testament that was written by different scribes at different times. Not as myths but as historical narrations. Hard to grasp for us today without some explanation.ABram, came from Ur… an old city in the south of modern Irak, known then as Sumer. He became Abraham indeed and father of the faith as described in the ancient testament. He married Sarai, a princess from Egypt. Lesser know. Meaning that his lineage represents the greatest cultures of that time: the egyptian culture (represented by pharaoh) and the sumerian culture (represented by him, Braham). Many of the books of genesis are transcriptions of the old books of Sumer. And archeological findings and history continue to shed new light on this great figure,of antiquity: the father of our faith. The father of monotheism . The faith in One God.I hope this helps a little. Thank you, for asking.Stay in peace
Well, this is quite different, an interesting read about ancient places and people.I find historical information like this is all interrelated in to how we are now .Ancient architecture and genealogy can tell us so much of people who lived long before usI love history and have visited countries like Egypt and Israel, I would love to explore their historical past more and the way it all relates to modern day.
Dear Louise, visiting those ancient and sacred places is a great privilege and helps a lot to understand ancient scriptures indeed. It can also be the begin of a quest for more… thank you for sharingEm Hetep
This was an interesting poem about Abraham from the Bible. Do you think that he was an important person and why? Do you think that the biography of Abraham is an important thing to learn about when dealing with Egyptian culture and why? Is pharaonic a word that means the plural or the essence of being a pharaoh?
Dear John it means that our cultures are both inspired by old Egypt and old Sumer, and that we need to dig further in the past of our civilisation to understand the context of the writings and the time they were written. Pharaonic means from pharaoh, since Sarai means Egyptian princess. An Egyptian title as well. Thank you,for askingEm Hetep
