and hereby lies your problem.. Please accept my apology for not getting your point earlier.. You are thinking YHWH gave the Old Testament as per the Quran ... Word verbatim. The Bible has NEVER made this claim for itself. The Old Testament begins with the five books of Moses known as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy....These books cover the history of mankind from the beginning of creation and then concentrate specifically on the history of the Israelites from the time of Abraham through to the great exodus of the Israelites from Egypt under the leadership of Moses. The Bible is very much a book of history... It's the unfolding of Gods plan for mankind... Told through his prophets... These prophets were given the revelation and the implicit understanding of Gods will to convey the revelation. There are parts that contain the actual words of YHWH in the Old Testament for sure, and it's quite clear where and what those words are.اقتباس:

The following ten books cover the history of the nation and the rise of its prophets up to the time of David. Up to this point the books are all primarily historical. Then follows the second major part of the Old Testament, namely five books that are commonly known as the wisdom books because they concentrate on teaching about the knowledge of God and true, discerning faith in him. They include the Book of Job, the Psalms of David and the Proverbs of Solomon. Finally there are the remaining seventeen books of the Old Testament which are known as the books of the writing prophets as they record the prophecies of the later prophets of Jewish history ...such as Jonah, Daniel and Ezekiel...before the Old Testament scriptures were completed some four hundred and fifty years before Christ. Unlike the Quran the Bible is revealed in chronological order and historical context has great importance to the unfolding of the revelations.
The Old Testament is a book defining God's dealings with the nation of Israel from the time of creation up to four hundred and fifty years before Christ.... It was completed nearly five centuries before the time of Jesus. It prepares the way for the Messiah.. Jesus .. And the main theme of most of the major prophets was prophesying was this very thing.. The Messiah.. Because that is the culmination of Gods plan for mankind's redemption. It was a given that worship of the one God.. YHWH.. Was a done deal.
so given that in matters of historical content were not the words of YHWH.. But simply mankind relaying the historical context of the revelation. It hardly matters weather the term pharaoh was used before it's time or King was used or whatever term.. The meaning is clear.. The measures YHWH takes to lead His people to salvation. So it's not as big a mistake as you believe it to be.. The important point is we do not rely on the exodus, or even the law given to Moses from YHWH.. For our salvation.

Why pharaoh's first born is not called "prince" ????
Exodus 11 : 5
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
peace to you .

lol... Same reason.. Not that important as you say Pharaohs first born son we assume like yourselves in wife... Logically leads to the conclusion as the Pharaoh is royal thus his family are royal... I hope you do not see it a problem coming to the same conclusions you yourself make with your Quran.
Peace also to you.
