Sobek, the God of Pharaoh
From BYU Studies Quarterly, volume 61, number 4.
The opening chapter of the Book of Abraham identifies "the god of Pharaoh" as being one of the idolatrous gods worshipped by Abraham's kinsfolk. In figure 9 of Facsimile 1 of the Book of Abraham, this god is depicted as a crocodile. Is there any evidence for who this god might have been and whether he was worshipped in Abraham's lifetime?
