SEV Biblia, Chapter 41:43
y lo hizo subir en su segundo carro, y pregonaron delante de él: Abrech Padre tierno-a este honre como a padre carísimo ; y lo puso sobre toda la tierra de Egipto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:43
Verse 43. He made him to ride in the second chariot] That which usually followed the king's chariot in public ceremonies. Bow the knee] ûrba abrech, which we translate bow the knee, and which we might as well translate any thing else, is probably an Egyptian word, the signification of which is utterly unknown. If we could suppose it to be a Hebrew word, it might be considered as compounded of ba ab, father, and ûr rach, tender; for Joseph might be denominated a father, because of his care over the people, and the provision he was making for their preservation; and tender because of his youth. Or it may be compounded of ba ab, father, and ûrb barech, blessing, the latter b beth being easily lost in the preceding one; and Joseph might have this epithet as well as the other, on account of the care he was taking to turn aside the heavy curse of the seven years of famine, by accumulating the blessings of the seven years of plenty. Besides, father seems to have been a name of office, and probably father of the king or father of Pharaoh might signify the same as the king's minister among us; see on chap. xlv. 8. But if it be an Egyptian word, it is vain to look for its signification in Hebrew.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 33-45 - Joseph gave good advice to Pharaoh. Fair warning should always be followed by good counsel. God has in his word told us of a day of tria before us, when we shall need all the grace we can have. Now therefore, provide accordingly. Pharaoh gave Joseph an honourabl testimony. He is a man in whom the spirit of God is; and such men ough to be valued. Pharaoh puts upon Joseph marks of honour. He gave his such a name as spoke the value he had for him, Zaphnath-paaneah, " revealer of secrets." This preferment of Joseph encourages all to trus in God. Some translate Joseph's new name, "the saviour of the world. The brightest glories, even of the upper world, are put upon Christ the highest trust lodged in his hand, and all power given him, both in heaven and earth.
