Joseph Elevated to Second Ruler

37

And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,

38

and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God is ?'

39

and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God's causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;

40

thou--thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.'

41

And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `See, I have put thee over all the land of Egypt.'

42

And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him with garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,

43

and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he hath, and they proclaim before him, `Bow the knee!' and--to put him over all the land of Egypt.

44

And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I am Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;'

45

and Pharaoh calleth Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt.
