Pharaoh (the Great House)
| Root | פרע (loanword; cf. Egyptian pr-ʿ3) (p-r-ʿ (from Egyptian pr-ʿ3)) |
| Core Meanings | great house, royal house, palace, kingship |
| Semantic Range | the Egyptian king; the royal court; the institution of Egyptian monarchy; at times a specific historical Pharaoh, at times the office generically. |
| Conceptual Significance | Pharaoh embodies the political and spiritual power of Egypt in the biblical narrative, often standing as the archetypal ruler who resists YHWH’s authority. The title underscores both centralized royal power and the confrontation between the God of Israel and imperial might. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; royal title used as a personal designation for the reigning king of Egypt. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp) referring to the Egyptian king. Its origin in the Egyptian pr-ʿ3, meaning "Great House," reflects the royal palace as a metonym for the monarch himself; rendering it "Pharaoh (the Great House)" preserves both its titular force and its singular masculine reference. |
