The Pharaoh during Moses' infancy is traditionally identified as either Seti I or Ramses II, though the exact historical identification is debated among scholars. Seti I reigned from around 1290 to 1279 BCE, and Ramses II, his son, ruled from approximately 1279 to 1213 BCE. The biblical narrative in Exodus describes a Pharaoh who ordered the killing of Hebrew male infants, which is why Moses' mother placed him in a basket in the Nile River to save him.
