Genesis 41:41

39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

40 ^aYou shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”

41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have ^aset you over all the land of Egypt.”

42 Then Pharaoh ^atook his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he ^bclothed him in garments of fine linen ^cand put a gold chain around his neck.

43 And he had him ride in the second ^achariot which he had; ^band they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him ^cover all the land of Egypt.

44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name¹ Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife ^aAsenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

46 Joseph was thirty years old when he ^astood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
