Dear Karl,
Just a note to point out that it is not merely a superior to an inferior,
it is always from a god (except in Esther).
Pharaoh is a god.

Not to the author of Genesis, he's not. We must remember, that NONE of this 
is transmitted to us "objectively" or even through the eyes of the 
protagonists. What we see is what the authors wanted us to see.
