Genesis 41:39-45

39So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so 1discerning and wise as you are. 40 2You shall be over my house, and according to your 3command all my people shall 4do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you.” 41Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you 5over all the land of Egypt.” 42Then Pharaoh 6took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and 7put the gold necklace around his neck. 43He had him ride in 8his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, “9Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Egypt. 44Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Though I am Pharaoh, yet 10without 11your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45Then Pharaoh named Joseph 12Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of 13 14On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
