Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 41:1-57

Genesis 41:1. Pharaoh dreamed. See on Isaiah 4:2. Whatever be the pleas of atheism and materialism against dreams of a prophetic character, it is evident enough from the gentile mythology, and from profane history, that they were fully accredited by the best and wisest of men. Cicero dreamed that while wandering in a solitary place, and much depressed in spirit, C. Marius came to him, and asked, why are you so dejected? To whom he replied, “It is because I have been unjustly driven out of... read more

Genesis 41:37-45Pharaoh said unto his servants: Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?--Pharaoh and JosephIn examining this narrative we find a most remarkable parallel in the relations of Joseph and Pharaoh to the relations of Christ and the sinner. I. Following this line of thought, then, we notice PHARAOH AS REPRESENTING THE MAN OF THE WORLD DISCOVERING HIS NEED. Not one is there but sees that his resources are sure to vanish at some future day and leave him... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 41:41

Gen 41:41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. Ver. 41. See, I have set thee over all, &c. ] So Antoninus, the emperor, made Pertinax, a a lowly man, but well qualified, consul, which many murmured at. But he was afterwards became emperor; and finding the public treasure woefully wasted by his predecessor Commodus, he restored it by his good husbandry, which many prominent men laughed at; caeteri, quibus virtus luxuria potior erat, laudabamus,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 41:42

Gen 41:42 And 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; Ver. 42. And Pharaoh took off his ring. ] Pliny therefore is mistaken, who thinks the use of rings came not up before the Trojan war. How happy had he been, that was so great a book devourer, a had he lit upon the Bible. He was insighted in all the secrets of nature, as appears by his works, which is non minus varium quam ipsa... read more

Bow the knee. ] Or, Tender father, because he was young in years, but old in wisdom, μειρακιογιρων , as Micarius was called. Not the ancient are wise, but the wise ancient. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 41:42

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
