In Egyptian, one of the meanings of ax [ayin heth],
traditionally transliterated as “akh”, is “spirit”.In Akhenaten’s way of thinking, the meaning
of itn [traditionally transliterated as Aton or Aten] was effectively “God”.In Egyptian, n is simply a connector, which
for example can mean “of”, though it’s really more like a modern dash.
So in Egyptian, the Egyptian name that Akhenaten chose for
himself [ax n itn] has as one of its essential meanings:
“Spirit of God”.
Now consider how the Pharaoh at the end of Genesis
characterizes Joseph [per the King James Version translation] at Genesis 41:
38:
“And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we
find such a one as this is, a man [Joseph] in whom the Spirit of God is?”
Note that the phrase “Spirit of God” at
Genesis 41: 38, which is RWX )LHYM, is the same as the basic meaning of the
name “Akhenaten”.
If the Pharaoh at the end of Genesis is
Akhenaten, then Pharaoh Akhenaten at Genesis 41: 38 is portrayed as effectively
saying:“And
Pharaoh [Akhenaten] said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is,
a man in whom [Akhenaten] is?”
Considering how unbelievably self-centered
Akhenaten was [claiming that he allegedly was the only one who could know
God/Aten/Ra], that reading of Genesis 41: 38 has an historical ring of truth to
it in an Amarna Age historical context.
