창세기 41:39 해설: Tze'enah Ure'enah, Rashi, Chizkuni & Rashbam

“Since God has made all this known to you” [41:39]. Pharaoh said: Since the Holy One has told you all this, there is no greater wise and discerning one than you. Therefore, you should be a master over my people. Pharaoh removed his ring from his hand, the one with which one seals things, and put it on the hand of Joseph. He said: you should be a ruler. Only my throne should be higher than yours.

Hizkuni writes. Pharaoh said: I will examine Joseph to see if he is truthful. Perhaps Joseph is lying and he just wants to free himself from the prison. Therefore, I will see. If he will he accept the authority, he told the truth about his solution. If he would not tell the truth, he would not accept the authority, so that he should not remain responsible.²⁷Hizkuni, Genesis, 41:42.

אין נבון וחכם כמוך THERE IS NONE SO DISCREET AND WISE AS THOU ART — If we do seek for a discreet and wise man as you suggested (v. 33) we shall find none like you).
