SCRIPTURE

"till there arose another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph." — Acts 7:18 (ASV)

Which knew not Joseph.—The idiom was originally a Hebrew one, for “not remembering, not caring for”; but as the words are quoted from the LXX. they do not affect the question as to the language in which the speech was delivered.
