Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 41:44

Genesis 41:44. I am Pharaoh— That is, I reserve to myself only the title of Pharaoh or King; thou shalt possess the whole power; or, rather, I am Pharaoh; I retain the dignity, and first place, as king; thou shalt be absolute and independent of all others but me. Some understand it as an oath; so true as I am Pharaoh, I swear by my name and my sceptre. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 41:45

Genesis 41:45. Zaphnath-paaneah— The most probable interpretation of these words, is the revealer of secrets: the Chaldee targum has it, the man to whom secrets are revealed. And of the Greek versions cited in the Hexapla, one renders the words, a man that knoweth secrets; another, one to whom futurity is revealed; and a third, one to whom God hath revealed hidden things.

Genesis 41:46. Joseph was thirty years old— He was seventeen years old when he was sold into AEgypt, and consequently had been thirteen years in slavery when he stood before Pharaoh, an eastern phrase expressing his advancement; for the great counsellors and ministers alone were admitted into the interior parts of the eastern kings' palaces, to stand before them, Dan 1:19 and to see the king's face, Esther 1:14.

40. Thou shalt be over my house—This sudden change in the condition of a man who had just been taken out of prison could take place nowhere, except in Egypt. In ancient as well as modern times, slaves have often risen to be its rulers. But the special providence of God had determined to make Joseph governor of Egypt; and the way was paved for it by the deep and universal conviction produced in the minds both of the king and his councillors, that a divine spirit animated his mind and had given... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 41:41

41. Pharaoh said, . . . See, I have set thee over all the land—These words were preliminary to investiture with the insignia of office, which were these: the signet-ring, used for signing public documents, and its impression was more valid than the sign-manual of the king; the khelaat or dress of honor, a coat of finely wrought linen, or rather cotton, worn only by the highest personages; the gold necklace, a badge of rank, the plain or ornamental form of it indicating the degree of rank and... read more

43. they cried before him, Bow the knee—abrech, an Egyptian term, not referring to prostration, but signifying, according to some, "father" (compare Genesis 45:8); according to others, "native prince"—that is, proclaimed him naturalized, in order to remove all popular dislike to him as a foreigner. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 41:45

45. Zaphnath-paaneah—variously interpreted, "revealer of secrets"; "saviour of the land"; and from the hieroglyphics, "a wise man fleeing from pollution"—that is, adultery. gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of—His naturalization was completed by this alliance with a family of high distinction. On being founded by an Arab colony, Poti-pherah, like Jethro, priest of Midian, might be a worshipper of the true God; and thus Joseph, a pious man, will be freed from the charge of marrying an... read more
