SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:10
y le libr de todas sus tribulaciones, y le dio gracia y sabiduría en la presencia de Faran, rey de Egipto, el cual le puso por gobernador sobre Egipto, y sobre toda su casa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 7:10
Verse 10. Gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh] God gave him much wisdom, in consequence of which he had favour with the king of Egypt. See the whole of this remarkable history explained at large, Gen. xli. 1-xlv. 28.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And delivered him out of all his afflictions , etc.] From the evil designs of his mistress, and from all the miseries of a prison: and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt ; so Justin in the place above cited says, that Joseph was very dear to the king; but not through his knowledge of magic arts, as he suggests, but on account of the wisdom which God gave him; for when he is said to have favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, the meaning is, that he was highly esteemed of by him, because of the wisdom he saw in him; and both the favour he had with him, and the wisdom he had in himself, were from the Lord; and in a very humble and modest manner does he speak of himself, in ( Genesis 41:16) which Onkelos the Targumist paraphrases thus: not from my wisdom, but from the Lord, shall the peace of Pharaoh be answered; the name of this Pharaoh was Misphragmuthosis; by the Jews he is called Rian ben Walid f277 : and he made him governor over Egypt : a deputy governor under him; for Pharaoh kept the throne, and in it was greater than Joseph, and had the other ensigns of royalty, and Joseph rode in the second chariot to him: and all his house ; (see Genesis 41:40,41,43) as he had the affairs of the kingdom committed to him, so likewise the domestic affairs of Pharaoh, he was steward of his household.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-16 - Stephen was charged as a blasphemer of God, and an apostate from the church; therefore he shows that he is a son of Abraham, and value himself on it. The slow steps by which the promise made to Abraha advanced toward performance, plainly show that it had a spiritual meaning, and that the land intended was the heavenly. God owned Josep in his troubles, and was with him by the power of his Spirit, both of his own mind by giving him comfort, and on those he was concerned with by giving him favour in their eyes. Stephen reminds the Jews of their mean beginning as a check to priding themselves in the glories of tha nation. Likewise of the wickedness of the patriarchs of their tribes in envying their brother Joseph; and the same spirit was still workin in them toward Christ and his ministers. The faith of the patriarchs in desiring to be buried in the land of Canaan, plainly showed they ha regard to the heavenly country. It is well to recur to the first ris of usages, or sentiments, which have been perverted. Would we know the nature and effects of justifying faith, we should study the characte of the father of the faithful. His calling shows the power and freenes of Divine grace, and the nature of conversion. Here also we see tha outward forms and distinctions are as nothing, compared with separatio from the world, and devotedness to God.

7:10 {Delivered him out} (exeilato auton ek). First aorist middle indicative of exairew, old verb to take out, snatch out. Note repetition of ek. {Pharaoh King of Egypt} (faraw basilews aiguptou). Pharaoh is not a name, but a title, the Egyptian _peraa_ meaning great house.
