New American Standard Bible
Chapter 41
39So Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you are. 40You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people shall be obedient to you; only regarding the throne will I be greater than you.' 41Pharaoh also said to Joseph, 'See, I have placed you over all the land of Egypt.' 42Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the gold necklace around his neck. 43And he had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed ahead of him, 'Bow the knee!' And he placed him over all the land of Egypt. 44Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'Though I am Pharaoh, yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.' 45Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
47During the seven years of plenty the land produced abundantly.
48So he collected all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities; he put in every city the food from its own surrounding fields.

41And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

39So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you are. 40You will be over my house, and all my people will obey your commands. Only I, as king, will be greater than you." 41Pharaoh also said to Joseph, "See, I am placing you over all the land of Egypt." 42Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, clothed him with fine linen garments, and placed a gold chain around his neck. 43He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, and servants called out before him, "Make way!"
