While sometimes applied to any foreign ruler of Egypt such as those from Nubia it most commonly refers to the kings of the Fifteenth Dynasty who hailed from Canaan. The term occasionally gets used as the ethnic group from which these kings belonged. Following from this, some historians, both modern and ancient, have made comparisons to the timing of the arrival and the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt with the arrival of the [[Israel]]ites with [[Joseph]] and the Exodus with [[Moses]] as depicted in the Bible.
