Zaphnathpaaneah: Which in Coptic signifies a revealer of secrets, or, the man to whom secrets are revealed. Jerome says this name signified in Egyptian, Savatorem mundi, "the Saviour of the world;" and Psotem-phaneh, in Coptic, is certainly "salvation of the world," from CT, for ףשפחסיב [Strong's G4991], salvation, em, the sign of the genitive case, and , world. If this interpretation be correct, Pharaoh must have meant Egypt by the world, or which Joseph might be justly termed the... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 41:44
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.Without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot — All the affairs of the kingdom must pass through his hand.Only in the throne will I be greater than thou — It is probable there were those about court that opposed Joseph's preferment, which occasioned Pharaoh so oft to repeat the grant, and with that solemn sanction, I am Pharaoh. He gave him his own ring as a... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 41:40
40. According unto thy word shall all my people be ruled This gives the general sense, and is substantially that of the ancient versions; but the word rendered ruled is the ordinary word for kissing, and modern exegetes disagree as to its meaning . Gesenius renders: Upon thy mouth shall all my people kiss . So also Knobel and Furst . Allusion would thus be made to the custom of expressing homage by throwing a kiss . Keil, however, denies that this was a customary form of showing... read more

42. Ring… fine linen… gold chain “Great importance was attached to the signet ring, which contained the owner’s name, and the impression of which was of the same validity as a written signature is among us . Hence the gift of this royal signet ring was a transfer of royal authority to Joseph . Thus Ahasuerus gave his ring to Haman, and the document which Haman signed with it was considered as coming from the king . Esther 3:10-12. The same ring was afterwards given to Mordecai, who used it... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 41:43
43. Second chariot Probably meaning the chariot second in majesty and splendour to that in which the king himself rode . In royal procession, Joseph would thus ride in the chariot which followed next after the king. Bow the knee אברךְ . This seems to be equivalent to הברךְ , the Hiphil imperative of the Hebrew ברךְ , but most critics regard it as an Egyptian word . The Sept . renders it by κηρυξ , herald; the Targum makes it equivalent to אב רךְ , tender father; Syriac, father and... read more

45. Zaphnath-paaneah An Egyptian name signifying bread of life, a most appropriate designation of Joseph, in his relation to the Egyptians . Others have explained the word as meaning, revealers of secrets, (Targ . , Syr . ,) saviour of the world, (Vulgate,) but the deciphering of the hieroglyphic inscriptions has led to the explanation first given above . See Cook’s Essay on Egyptian Words . The same writer explains Asenath to mean sacred to Neith, the Egyptian Athene, or... read more
