39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. 40 (A)You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command.[a] Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, (B)I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh (C)took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and (D)clothed him in garments of fine linen (E)and put a gold chain about his neck. 43 And he made him ride in his second chariot. (F)And they called out before him, “Bow the knee!”[b] Thus he set him (G)over all the land of Egypt. 44 Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and (H)without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
