40 You shall be in charge of my household, and all my people will obey your command. Only in respect to the throne will I outrank you.”
41 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Look, I put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”
42 With that, Pharaoh took off his signet ring and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 He then had him ride in his second chariot, and they shouted “Abrek!” before him.Thus was Joseph installed over the whole land of Egypt.
44 “I am Pharaoh,” he told Joseph, “but without your approval no one shall lift hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45 Pharaoh also bestowed the name of Zaphenath-paneah on Joseph, and he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.After Joseph left Pharaoh, he went throughout the land of Egypt.
