Genesis 41:39-44
New King James Version
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 (A)You shall be [a]over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have (B)set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Then Pharaoh (C)took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he (D)clothed him in garments of fine linen (E)and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in the second (F)chariot which he had; (G)and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him (H)over all the land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
