Tafsiran Kejadian 41:44: Tze'enah Ure'enah, Rashi, Chizkuni & Rashbam

“No one shall lift up hand or foot” [41:44]. Pharaoh said: no man should take a sword in his hand without Joseph’s knowledge.²⁸Bahya, Genesis, 41:44.

Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah. This means, he said everything that was hidden. That is to say, just like a prophet.²⁹Rashi, Genesis, 41:45.

אני פרעה I AM PHARAOH in whose power it is to issue decrees for my kingdom, and I order that no man shall lift up his hand בלעדיך — without your permission. Another explanation of אני פרעה: I AM PHARAOH — I shall be king, but without thy permission etc. It is exactly similar in meaning to (v. 40) “only in the throne [will I be greater than thou]”.
