Genesis 41:37-45

Joseph Is Set over Egypt

37 And the ¹proposal seemed good ²to Pharaoh and ²to all his servants. 38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, ^ain whom is a divine spirit?” 39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made you know all of this, there is no one so ^aunderstanding and wise as you are. 40 ^aYou shall be over my house, and according to your ¹command all my people shall ²do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you ^aover all the land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh ^aremoved his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand and clothed him in garments of fine linen and ^bput the gold necklace around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in ¹his second chariot; and they called out before him, “²Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Though I am Pharaoh, yet ^awithout ¹your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 Then Pharaoh named Joseph ¹Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of ²^aOn, as a wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
