After interpreting Pharaoh's dreams, Joseph was appointed as the second-in-command, overseeing Pharaoh's household and the entire land of Egypt (<a href="/genesis/41-39.htm">Genesis 41:39-41</a>). This elevation is a fulfillment of the dreams Joseph had as a young man, where his family would bow to him (<a href="/genesis/37-5.htm">Genesis 37:5-11</a>). Joseph's rise to power is a testament to God's providence and faithfulness, demonstrating how God can use difficult circumstances for His purposes. Joseph's role as master of Pharaoh's household prefigures Christ, who is the head of the Church, His household (<a href="/ephesians/1-22.htm">Ephesians 1:22-23</a>).<p><b>ruler over all his substance</b><br>Joseph's authority extended beyond Pharaoh's household to all of Egypt's resources. This included managing the grain during the years of plenty and famine, which was crucial for the survival of Egypt and surrounding nations (<a href="/genesis/41-46.htm">Genesis 41:46-49</a>). Joseph's wise stewardship is a model of faithful service and integrity. His position as ruler over all substance can be seen as a type of Christ, who is given all authority in heaven and on earth (<a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18</a>). Joseph's story also parallels the narrative of Jesus, who was rejected by His own but later exalted to a position of authority for the salvation of many (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joseph.htm">Joseph</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, rose to power in Egypt, and became second only to Pharaoh.
