פּירוש אויף בראשית 41:41

נתתי אתך The Targum translates it by— “I have appointed thee”; nevertheless even in this sense it really means “giving”, as (Deuteronomy 26:19) “and to make thee (ולתתך) high”. To express either the idea of raising to high rank or of degrading the term “to give” may be used. An example of the latter is (Malachi 2:9) “I have made thee (נתתיך) contemptible and base”.

נתתי אותך, “I have placed you.” Pharaoh said this to Joseph at the time he handed over his ring (seal of office) to him.

ראה נתתי אותך על כל ארץ מצרים, be aware of the tremendous responsibility I am endowing you with by appointing you as the supreme authority in the whole land of Egypt. [the word ראה, normally translated as “see here,” is used by Pharaoh as telling Joseph to reflect deeply. Ed.]
