Genesis 41:37-45

Joseph Rises to Power

37This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants. 38And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, ain whom is the Spirit of God?”
Or of the gods
39Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. 40 cYou shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command.
Hebrew  and according to your command all my people shall kiss the ground
Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.”
41And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, eI have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 42Then Pharaoh ftook his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and gclothed him in garments of fine linen hand put a gold chain about his neck. 43And he made him ride in his second chariot. iAnd they called out before him, “Bow the knee!”
Abrek, probably an Egyptian word, similar in sound to the Hebrew word meaning to kneel
Thus he set him kover all the land of Egypt.
44Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and lwithout your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
