Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary [1]
King of Egypt. It should seem that Pharaoh was the common name of the kings of Egypt, since we find that both he that knew Joseph, and he that knew him not, were both called Pharaoh. Indeed we find a Pharaoh in the days of Abraham. ( Genesis 12:10-15) The name of Pharaoh implies a destroyer, derived from Parah. But some have thought that the name is a title, and not unsimilar to those used in modern times of royal, and highness, and the like. But it is of little importance what the name meant, or how used. The Pharaoh, the tyrant of Egypt, we know most of in Scripture, was a type of the devil; and as such the Lord's people should read his history, %with the Lord's striking observation upon him. ( Exodus 9:16)
