was the king's prison. All the officers in the employment of the ancient kings of Egypt, according to Diodorus Siculus, were taken from the most illustrious families of the priesthood in the country; no slave or common person being ever permitted to serve in the presence of the king. As these persons were of the most noble families, it is natural to expect they would be put, when accused, into the state prison.Reciprocal39:21 - gave him; 39:22 - committed; 41:10 - Pharaoh; 42:19 - house; 2 Samuel 20:3 - ward; John 18:12 - bound; Acts 12:10 - the first Verse 4the captainGenesis 37:36, 39:1, 39:21-23; Psalm 37:5 a seasonYamim, literally days; how long is uncertain, though the word may signify, as many suppose, a complete year - see note on Genesis 4:3 and see note on 24:55

so called, according to Mr. Parkhurst, from its fitness for making ropes, or the like, to connect or join things together, from achah, to join, connect: thus the Latin juncus, a bulrush, a jungendo, from joining, for the same reason. He supposes it to be that sort of reed growing near the Nile which Hasselquist describes as "having scarce any branches, but numerous leaves, which are narrow, smooth, channelled on the upper surface, and the plant about eleven feet high. The Egyptians make ropes of the leaves.ReciprocalGenesis 41:26 - are Verse 3ill favouredGenesis 41:4, 41:20, 41:21Reciprocal41:54 - the seven; Deuteronomy 17:1 - sheep Verse 4So Pharaoh awoke1 Kings 3:15ReciprocalGenesis 41:3 - ill favoured; 41:54 - the seven; Deuteronomy 17:1 - sheep Verse 5seven earsA species of wheat, which grows in Egypt, bears, when perfect, seven ears on one stalk, as its natural conformation.

In Egypt it is peculiarly destructive, because it comes through the parched deserts of Arabia, often destroying vast numbers of people. The destructive nature of the Sam, Simoom, Smoom, or Samiel, is mentioned by almost all travellers. When this pestilential wind advances, its approach is indicated by a redness in the air. The principal stream of the blast always moves in a line of about 20 yards in breadth, and 12 feet above the surface of the earth; but its parching influence pervades all places to a considerable distance. The only means of preservation from its noxious influence is to lie flat, with the face upon the ground, till the blast be over. Camels and other animals instinctively perceive its approach, and bury their mouths and nostrils in the ground. It rarely last more than seven or eight minutes, but so poisonous are its effects, that it instantly suffocates those who are unfortunate enough to inhale it.

Pliny has given a scale, by which the plenty or dearth may be ascertained; which may be considered as perfectly correct. The ordinary height of the inundations is 16 cubits. When the waters are lower than this standard, they do not overflow the whole ground; when above this standard they are too long in running off. In the first case, the ground is not saturated; by the second, the waters are detained so long on the ground that seed-time is lost. The province marks both. If it rise only 12 cubits, a famine is the consequence; at 13 hunger prevails; 14 produces general rejoicing; 15 perfect security; and 16 all the luxuries of life.grievousHeb. heavy, 1 Samuel 5:6; Isaiah 24:20ReciprocalGenesis 47:13 - so that; Acts 11:28 - great Verse 32doubledGenesis 37:7, 37:9; Job 33:14, 33:15; 2 Corinthians 13:1 it is becauseNumbers 23:19; Isaiah 14:24-27, 46:10, 46:11; Matthew 24:35 established byor, prepared of, Isaiah 30:33; Matthew 25:34, 25:41; Mark 10:40; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Revelation 9:15Reciprocal2 Kings 8:1 - the Lord; Jeremiah 1:13 - the second time; Daniel 2:45 - the great; 10:1 - and the; Acts 10:16 - thrice; Revelation 22:6 - which Verse 33thereforeDaniel 4:27 look outExodus 18:19-22; Deuteronomy 1:13; Acts 6:3ReciprocalGenesis 41:39 - General; 45:16 - it pleased Pharaoh well; Psalm 105:22 - teach; Ecclesiastes 4:14 - For out; 9:17 - General; 10:10 - wisdom Verse 34officersor, overseers, Numbers 31:14; 2 Kings 11:11, 11:12; 2 Chronicles 34:12; Nehemiah 11:9 and takeJob 5:20; Psalm 33:19; Proverbs 6:6-8, 22:3, 27:12; Luke 16:5ReciprocalGenesis 41:48 - General; 47:24 - the fifth part Verse 35gatherGenesis 41:48, 41:49, 41:56, 45:6, 45:7 handExodus 4:13

Jerome says this name signified in Egyptian, Savatorem mundi, "the Saviour of the world;" and Psotem - phaneh, in Coptic, is certainly "salvation of the world," from from CΩT, for σωτηρια [G4991], salvation, em, the sign of the genitive case, and, world. If this interpretation be correct, Pharaoh must have meant Egypt by the world, or which Joseph might be justly termed the Saviour. We know that the Romans called their empire Universis Orbis-Orbis Terrarum, "all the world:" the Chinese say the same of their empire at the present day, and the phrase is used in the East: Nadir Shah is described on his coins as "Conqueror of the World," i.e., Persia. See the same phraseology applied to Syria, Palestine, etc. Luke 2:1; Acts 11:28 priest ofor, prince, Genesis 14:18; Exodus 2:16 *marg. 2 Samuel 8:18, 20:26 *Heb:OnGenesis 46:20; Ezekiel 30:17, AvenReciprocalGenesis 41:50 - Asenath; 47:22 - of the priests; 47:25 - Thou hast; Numbers 12:1 - married; 1 Kings 11:19 - that he gave; 2 Kings 23:34 - turned; Isaiah 22:24 - hang; Daniel 1:7 - gave names Verse 46yearsGenesis 37:2; Numbers 4:3; 2 Samuel 5:4; Luke 3:23 he stood1 Samuel 16:21; 1 Kings 12:6, 12:8; Proverbs 22:29; Daniel 1:19; Luke 21:36; Jude 1:24ReciprocalGenesis 41:29 - General; Exodus 7:7 - General; 1 Samuel 16:16 - before thee; Daniel 1:5 - stand Verse 47 FromGenesis 26:12; Psalm 72:16ReciprocalGenesis 41:26 - are; Leviticus 25:21 - I will; Isaiah 30:23 - thy cattle; Luke 12:16 - The ground Verse 48Genesis 41:34-36, 47:21Reciprocal41:35 - gather; 1 Chronicles 27:25 - the storehouses Verse 49Genesis 22:17; Judges 6:5, 7:12; 1 Samuel 13:5; Job 1:3; Psalm 78:27; Jeremiah 33:22ReciprocalGenesis 41:29 - General; 41:35 - gather; 1 Kings 4:29 - as the sand; Job 29:18 - as the sand; Habakkuk 1:9 - they shall gather Verse 50unto JosephGenesis 46:20, 48:5 Asenath41:45, 46:20 priestor, prince, 2 Samuel 8:18ReciprocalGenesis 47:22 - of the priests; 48:1 - his two sons; Isaiah 24:2 - priest Verse 51calledam 2292, bc 1712, Genesis 48:5, 48:13, 48:14, 48:18-20; Deuteronomy 33:17 Manassehi.e. Forgetting, Genesis 41:30; Psalm 45:10; Isaiah 57:16 forgetPsalm 30:5, 30:11; Proverbs 31:7; Isaiah 65:16ReciprocalGenesis 16:11 - because; Numbers 1:34 - Manasseh; 26:28 - General; Joshua 17:1 - the firstborn; 1 Samuel 1:20 - when the time was come about; 1 Chronicles 5:18 - Manasseh; Job 11:16 - Because; Psalm 127:3 - children; Ezekiel 48:4 - Manasseh Verse 52 amcalled heGenesis 29:32-35, 30:6-13, 50:23 Ephraimi.e. Fruitful, 48:16-19, 49:22; Isaiah 40:1, 40:2 the landPsalm 105:17, 105:18; Amos 6:6; Acts 7:10ReciprocalGenesis 16:11 - because; 26:22 - be fruitful; 28:3 - and make; Numbers 26:28 - General; 1 Samuel 1:20 - when the time was come about; Psalm 127:3 - children; Hosea 9:11 - their; 13:15 - he be Verse 53 amGenesis 41:29-31; Psalm 73:20; Luke 16:25ReciprocalGenesis 41:26 - are Verse 54the sevenGenesis 41:3, 41:4, 41:6, 41:7, 41:27, 45:11; Psalm 105:16; Acts 7:11 accordingGenesis 41:30 and the dearth42:2, 42:5, 42:6, 43:1, 45:11, 47:13Reciprocal41:57 - in all lands; 42:1 - when Jacob; 45:6 - two years Verse 55famished2 Kings 6:25-29; Jeremiah 14:1-6; Lamentations 4:3-10 Go untoGenesis 41:40, 41:41; Psalm 105:20-22; Matthew 3:17, 17:5; John 1:14-16; Philippians 4:19; Colossians 1:19ReciprocalGenesis 42:6 - he it was; Esther 3:1 - above all the princes; Psalm 105:21 - made; John 3:35 - and Verse 56the faceIsaiah 23:17; Zechariah 5:3; Luke 21:35; Acts 17:26 all the storehousesHeb. all wherein wassoldGenesis 42:6, 47:14-24Reciprocal41:35 - gather; 41:57 - in all lands; 42:19 - carry corn; 45:6 - two years Verse 57all countriesGenesis 42:1, 42:5, 50:20; Deuteronomy 9:28; Psalm 105:16, 105:17 in all landsGenesis 41:54, 41:56Reciprocal28:12 - he dreamed; 2 Samuel 21:1 - a famine; Nehemiah 5:2 - we take up corn
