Who Is The Lord?

This was Pharaoh's response to the demand delivered from God by Moses and Aaron. 'Let my people go.'

Pharaoh had the security and protection of hundreds of gods. Why should he be impressed by or submit to the command of the God whom he did not know? Who is he that I should obey him?

And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword. (Exodus 5:1-3)
