Genesis 47:7
Excerpted from: Civility and CourtesyAlways the greater blesses the lesser. So, what did Pharaoh do here? He must have abased himself before Jacob. It was surely different times. When the ruler of the known world, basically, bowed himself in respect to this old man for his years, and probably because he respected Joseph as well for what Joseph had done to bring Egypt through this famine.
Here, you see a bit of humility on Pharaoh's part because he bowed himself to Jacob.
