Question: Are there any known parallels between elements of Joseph's interpretation of Facsimile 3 with other ancient texts?
The following parallels exist between Joseph's interpretations and other ancient texts
- Abraham being seated next to a king—The Qisas includes an account of Abraham being seated next to a king. [1]
- Abraham taught the Egyptians astronomy—The concept that Abraham taught the Egyptians astronomy is found the writings of Josephus and in Pseudo-Eupolemus. Clark notes that "the book's last facsimile (no. 3) depicts Pharaoh-who traditionally claimed exclusive possession of priesthood and kingship (Abr. 1:25-27)-honoring Abraham's priesthood by allowing him to occupy the throne and instruct the court in astronomy (cf. Pseudo-Eupolemus; Josephus, Antiquities 1.viii.2)".[2]
