Exodus 9:30

that ye do not yet fear before (Haggai 1:12) Jehovah God that ye do not yet really stand in awe of Him, so as to grant Israel's release. The meaning is not -fear God" in a religious sense, but -fear before" Him, be afraid of Him.

Jehovah God The addition -God" (not in LXX. however) emphasizes the fact that it was just Jehovah's Godhead which the Pharaoh had failed to recognize. The combination is very unusual: elsewhere in the Pent. it occurs only (for a different reason) in Genesis 2:4.
