Abstract
While scholars continue to debate Egyptological influence in the Torah, few recognize or acknowledge it in the Psalms, though the superscription of Psalm 90 does indicate Mosaic authorship. This project first examines the structure and significance of the Egyptian nuances within Psalm 90, and proposes an approximate time of composition relative to Moses’s life. Following a study of the historical context, I craft a well-researched fictional narrative that aims to immerse young-adult readers in the world of the psalm. This project draws connections between Moses’s struggles and those of a modern audience, foregrounding insights discovered during an extensive process of exegetical and historical research.
