Genesis

Genesis 41:43–44

43He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the knee!”c So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.

44And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”
