EXOD26 The most famous non-Israelite villain in the Torah is the unnamed Pharaoh of Egypt, who launches a campaign to drown all male Israelite infants at birth [this verse]. Yet the Bible does not want the Israelites to hate all Egyptians. Indeed, one of its commandments states, "You shall not a abhor an Egyptian, for you were a stranger in his land" Deuteronomy 23:8. As a reminder to Israelites not to let their antagonism toward Pharaoh escalate into dislike of all Egyptians, the Bible teaches that the infant Moses was saved by the daughter of the very Pharaoh who issued the order to kill the Hebrew babies. There is perhaps no stronger repudiation of racism in the Bible than this; the man who tried to destroy the Israelites was thwarted in his plan by his own daughter. Pharaoh was evil, but his daughter was righteous.
