Génesis 41:46 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:46

And Joseph [was] thirty years old when he stood before
Pharaoh king of Egypt
Interpreting his dreams, and had such honour conferred upon him as to be made his prime minister; from whence it appears that Joseph had now been thirteen years in Egypt, partly in Potiphar's house, and partly in prison, since he was seventeen years of age when he was sold thither, see ( Genesis 37:2 ) : and Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh;
from standing before him, and ministering to him as his counsellor and chief statesman, or he went out from his court and palace for a while: and went throughout all the land of Egypt:
this seems to be a second tour; before he went to survey the land, and pitch upon the most proper places for granaries to lay up store of corn in; and now he went through it, to gather in and give directions about it, and see it performed, for the years of plenty were now begun.

44 Entonces el fara贸n le dijo:鈥擸o soy el fara贸n, pero nadie en todo Egipto podr谩 hacer nada sin tu permiso.
45 Y le cambi贸 el nombre a Jos茅, y lo llam贸 Zafenat Panea; adem谩s, le dio por esposa a Asenat, hija de Potifera, sacerdote de la ciudad de On. De este modo qued贸 Jos茅 a cargo de Egipto.
46 Ten铆a treinta a帽os cuando comenz贸 a trabajar al servicio del fara贸n, rey de Egipto.Tan pronto como se retir贸 Jos茅 de la presencia del fara贸n, se dedic贸 a recorrer todo el territorio de Egipto.
47 Durante los siete a帽os de abundancia la tierra produjo grandes cosechas,
48 as铆 que Jos茅 fue recogiendo todo el alimento que se produjo en Egipto durante esos siete a帽os, y lo almacen贸 en las ciudades.
