Bithiah is a unique figure in Scripture — an Egyptian princess who converted and joined the Israelite community. She married Mered, a descendant of Judah. Her name means "daughter of Yahweh," which is remarkable because it incorporates the divine name (Yah). The Chronicler specifically records her as "Bithiah, daughter of Pharaoh" to honor her choice to leave Egyptian royalty for identity with God's people. Jewish tradition identifies her as the same princess who rescued baby Moses from the Nile.
