43 He put Joseph on the chariot of his second-in-command, and everyone in front of him cried out, “Attention!”[a] So Pharaoh installed him over the entire land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh; no one will do anything or go anywhere in all the land of Egypt without your permission.” 45 Pharaoh renamed Joseph, Zaphenath-paneah, and married him to Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of Heliopolis.[b]
Then Joseph assumed control of the land of Egypt.
