Genesis 41:39-43

39Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 toH413 JosephH3130, “SinceH310 GodH430 has made allH3605 thisH2063 known to youH3045, there is no oneH369 as discerningH995 and wiseH2450 as youH3644. 40YouH859 shall beH1961 in charge ofH5921 my houseH1004H5921, and allH3605 my peopleH5971 are to obeyH5401 your commandsH6310. OnlyH7535 with regard to the throneH3678 will I be greaterH1431 than youH4480.”

41PharaohH6547 also toldH559H413 JosephH3130, “I hereby placeH7200H5414 you overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 42Then PharaohH6547 removedH5493 the signet ringH2885 fromH5921 his fingerH3027, putH5414 it onH5921 Joseph’sH3130 fingerH3027, clothedH3847 himH853 in garmentsH899 of fine linenH8336, and placedH7760 a goldH2091 chainH7242 aroundH5921 his neckH6677. 43He had Joseph rideH7392 in his secondH4932 chariotH4818, with men calling outH7121 before himH6440, “Bow the kneeH86!”1 So he placedH5414 himH853 overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
