PHARAOH. The title of the supreme ruler of ancient Egypt. The individual monarch spoken of in the Book of Mormon is the one in whose reign the Hebrews were delivered from the bondage of the Egyptians, under Moses and Aaron. His name is mentioned twice (I Nephi, 4:2; 17:27), and on both occasions in connection with the destruction of his armies in the Red Sea.
