Pharao identifies the Egyptian ruler addressed by Scripture and named in family and court relationships.

The attested uses identify the Egyptian ruler: he is named in Joseph’s court setting, in references to his daughter, and as the one addressed by Scripture.

Senses in use

  1. The Egyptian ruler in court, family, and address · dominant

    In Acts 7:10 and Acts 7:13, the forms occur in clauses about Joseph’s standing before this ruler and Joseph’s family becoming known to him; the APB renders these scenes with Pharaoh in Egypt. In Acts 7:21 and Hebrews 11:24, genitive forms specify his daughter in Moses’ rescue and upbringing, while Romans 9:17 uses a dative form in Scripture’s address to him.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the figure as “Pharaoh,” including “Pharaoh king of Egypt,” “Pharaoh's daughter,” and an address “to Pharaoh.” The verse is read as a whole, but these clauses consistently place the term in those relationships and addresses.
