The middle panel on this ceremonial axe depicts the Egyptian Pharaoh Ahmose smiting an enemy. Egyptian sources credit Ahmose I with expelling the Hyksos, who were foreign invaders of Egypt (see Pritchard 1969: 230-34). Jacob and Joseph, along with all the Hebrews, were likely considered part of the Hyksos group, and would have been despised by ethnic Egyptians.
