Zaphnath-Paaneah [Zăph'nath-pāa nē'ah]—savior of the world or giver of the nourishment of life. This common type of an Egyptian name given to Joseph by Pharaoh came from a root meaning “God hath said he liveth” (Gen. 41:45). From the sound of the name the Jews felt it meant the revealer of secrets, or one discovering hidden things. How typical Joseph is of Jesus, who came as the true Saviour of the world (1 John 4:14). See JOSEPH.
