Exodus 5:2

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go." — Exodus 5:2 (ASV)

I know not the Lord - Either Pharaoh had not heard of Yahweh, or he did not recognize Him as a God.
