“And there arose a new king who did not know Joseph…”
From the time of the Talmud, there has been a debate about this line. Some say it means that there was, in fact, a new Pharaoh. Joseph lived 110 years; he was only 39 when Jacob came to join the rest of the family in Egypt, and there is no record in Torah that Joseph ever left his post as vizier. Even assuming a “boy king” like Tutankhamun, a Pharaoh of Joseph’s younger days (remember that he arrived in Egypt at age 17) would have been no younger than 75 and perhaps pushing a hundred by Joseph’s death, but likely we are speaking of a successor, or even a successor to the successor.
