You shall be in charge of my house This phrase signifies a monumental shift in Joseph's life, from a prisoner to a ruler. The Hebrew word for "house" (בַּיִת, bayit) often refers to a household or a palace, indicating that Joseph is being entrusted with the management of Pharaoh's entire domain. This reflects God's providence and the fulfillment of Joseph's earlier dreams, where he saw himself in a position of authority. Historically, this appointment would have been unprecedented, as Egyptians typically did not elevate foreigners to such high positions. Joseph's rise to power is a testament to his integrity and God's favor. and all my people are to obey your commands Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you According unto thy word shall all my people be ruled.--The general sense is easy, namely that all the people of Egypt should obey Joseph's orders, but the translation of the phrase is difficult. The ordinary meaning of the verb is to kiss, and the translation would then be And on thy mouth shall all my people kiss, that is, they shall do thee homage (1Samuel 10:1; Psalm 2:12). The versions seem to have taken this sense, though they translate very loosely "shall obey thee;" or "shall receive judgment at thy mouth;" or "shall be governed by thee." As however in 1Chronicles 12:2; 2Chronicles 17:17; Psalm 78:9, the verb is used of bearing arms, Aben-Ezra translates "shall arm themselves," and supposes that Joseph was made commander-in-chief. Others, again, form the verb used here from the same root as that which would give meshek in Genesis 15:2 the meaning of "running about," and translate at thy mouth, that is, according to thy command, shall all my people busy themselves. The first is the most natural and probable rendering. . . .
