Berean Strong's Lexicon

Paroh: Pharaoh

Original Word: פַּרְעֹה
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: Paroh
Pronunciation: pah-ROH
Phonetic Spelling: (par-o')
Definition: Pharaoh
Meaning: Paroh

Word Origin: Derived from Egyptian, meaning "great house" or "palace," referring to the royal residence and, by extension, the ruler himself.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for Pharaoh in the Septuagint and the New Testament is Φαραώ (Pharaō), Strong's Greek #5328.

Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "Paroh" refers to the title used for the kings of Egypt. It is not a personal name but a designation for the Egyptian monarchs who played significant roles in the narratives of the Israelites, particularly during the periods of the patriarchs, the Exodus, and the monarchy.

Cultural and Historical Background: The term "Pharaoh" was used to denote the ruler of ancient Egypt, a civilization known for its advanced culture, monumental architecture, and complex religious system. Pharaohs were considered divine or semi-divine figures, often associated with gods like Ra and Horus. The Pharaohs wielded absolute power and were central figures in both the political and religious life of Egypt. The interactions between the Pharaohs and the Israelites are pivotal in the biblical narrative, especially in the context of the Exodus, where the Pharaoh's hardened heart leads to the plagues and the eventual liberation of the Israelites.
