Genesis 41:40-44
40 aYou 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, cI have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 42Then Pharaoh dtook his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and eclothed him in garments of fine linen fand put a gold chain about his neck. 43And he made him ride in his second chariot. gAnd 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 iover all the land of Egypt. 44Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and jwithout your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” Genesis 41:55
55When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”Genesis 45:8
8So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and kruler over all the land of Egypt.Genesis 45:26
26And they told him, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them.
