Juef

Juef was an ancient Egyptian priest who lived at the beginning of the 18th dynasty. It is known from a stele from Edfu , which is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (JdE 27091; CG 34009). On this stele there is a short biographical inscription. Most of the text is well preserved, but some phrases are difficult to understand. The biographical inscription is of interest in research since Juef served under two queens. The text reports that Juef went from the king mother Ahhotep to the second priest of the donations of the altar . Doorman of the temple and cleaning priest was appointed. He reports that he found the grave of the king's daughter Sobekemsaf dilapidated and that he had it renovated. The king's daughter Sobekemsaf is probably the wife of Nub-cheper-Re Anjotef . It is known from other sources that she had a tomb in Edfu.

Juef then reports that he received a statue of Ahhotep from the queen, probably to perform a statue cult. Juef also served under Queen Ahmose , wife of King Thutmose I, and was promoted to scribe of the Divine Seal . Ahmose also presented him with a statue, as well as with food and land.
