High Priest

also: a főpap, the High Priest

The unnamed Egyptian High Priest who educated Mózes and presents him to Pharaoh in Act One; a compound figure suggesting the temple priesthood of Heliopolis or Memphis, and the irony that Egypt's own educational system produced the man who would destroy its power over Israel.
