Rabbi Alexander Hool’s Viewpoint Regarding how to Synchronize Biblical Chronology with Secular Egyptian Chronology
Note from the editor: There are other audios at https://podtail.com/en/podcast/seforimchatter/with-r-alex-hool-discussing-his-new-book-pharaoh-b/. The editor of vilnagaon.org has not listened to them and therefore it should be made clear there is no implied endorsement of the other audios.
Regarding who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus the editor of vilnagaon.org has heard several competing theories and does not have sufficient expertise on this issue to endorse any particular opinion.
Rabbi Hool uses the Sothic Calendar and Lunar observations in ancient Egyptian sources and evidence of the plague of boils on certain mummies (and a few other proofs) to conclude that certain dynasties ruled Egypt at the same time and not one after another, thus producing a shorter period of rule by the Pharaohs and changing the chronology significantly.
The only Biblical source that Egypt might have had more than one king at the same time, I found in the book of II Kings Chapter 7 verse 6, where Egypt is described as having kings (in the plural form) which Aram feared were about to attack the camp of Aram.
With this in mind, I present again the link for this 70 minute lecture:

B”H Excerpts from An Anthology of the Gaon by Rabbi Moshe Zuriel {Tzuriel}
A Selection of sayings of the Vilna Gaon regarding beliefs, extracted from most of the writings of his disciples, of those faithful to him, and from some of his own writings.
Swiftness
The fact that a person puts off performing a mitzvah until the morrow leads to his not performing it at all, rather, as soon as he has the opportunity he should immediately perform it – to Proverbs 10/8, 14/23, 27/1
If not now, then when?” (Avot I) – the Sages did not say ”if not today”, for even on the same day, one should already now, perform the mitzvah.- to Proverbs 6:9
This Anthology of the sayings of the Vilna Gaon is Not Appropriate For Non-Jewish
Souls. Instead they should scroll up this page to the section A Light Unto the Nations which is more appropriate for a mixed audience.
Anthology Topics: 1 Cruelty 2 Erev Rav 3 Father 4 The First Man 5 Forefathers 6 Heretics 7 The Holy Temple 8 Limbs 9 Love of G-d 10 Man 11 The Nations of the World 12 Prophecy 13 Reproof 14 Reward and Punishment 15 Suffering 16 Swiftness 17 Torah 18 Torah Study 19 The World to Come
