1491. That 'Pharaoh called Abram' means that the Lord recalled to mind becomes clear from the meaning of 'Pharaoh' as knowledge. The knowledge itself, that is, the facts which the Lord absorbed when a boy, are here called 'Pharaoh'. Thus it is knowledge itself which so addressed the Lord, that is, Jehovah did so by means of knowledge. From this it is evident that the words used here mean that the Lord recalled to mind. Awareness came through knowledge, thus through Pharaoh, who, as stated, means knowledge.
