Genesis 41:43

Verse 43 of 57. The 41st of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

39Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.

40You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”

41Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”

42Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.

43He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.

44Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”

45Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

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

47In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
