Great-House (king of Egypt)
| Root | פרעה (loanword; cf. Egyptian pr-ˁ3) (pr-ʿh) |
| Core Meanings | great house, royal palace, royal authority, Egyptian kingship |
| Semantic Range | The Egyptian king; the royal court; the institution of Egyptian monarchy; a dynastic title applied to multiple rulers. |
| Conceptual Significance | Pharaoh represents the supreme political and divine-backed authority of Egypt in the biblical narrative, often embodying imperial power in opposition to YHWH’s purposes, especially in the Exodus account where the "Great-House" stands as the archetype of human pride and resistance to divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; royal title used as a personal designation for the reigning king of Egypt. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from the Egyptian expression pr-ˁ3, meaning "great house," referring originally to the royal palace and by extension to the king himself. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering reflects a singular royal title, preserving both its literal sense and its function as the designation of Egypt’s reigning monarch. |
