39. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all of this known to you there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

40. You shall be over my house, and to your word all my people shall submit. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”

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

42. Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his finger and put it on the finger of Joseph. And he clothed him with garments of fine linen, and he put a chain of gold around his neck.

43. And he had him ride in his second chariot. And they cried out before him, “Kneel!” And Pharaoh set him over all the land of Egypt.

44. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your consent no one will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
