Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(43) In the second chariot.--The object of this procession was to display Joseph to the people as their new governor. The Pharaoh, probably, took the chief part in this parade, riding in the first chariot of state.Bow the knee.--Heb., abrech. Canon Cook explains this as meaning rejoice, be happy. It is in the imperative singular, and is addressed by the people to Joseph; for it is said "they cried before him," that is, the multitude, and not a herald. Naturally, therefore, it is in the singular, as the vivat rex of the Middle Ages, or vive le roi now. The similarity of sound with habrech, bow the knee, is a mere chance and as this word also is singular, it must be addressed to Joseph, and not to the people.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewHe had Joseph rideוַיַּרְכֵּ֣ב (way·yar·kêḇ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7392: To ride, to place upon, to despatchin his secondהַמִּשְׁנֶה֙ (ham·miš·neh)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4932: A repetition, a duplicate, a double, a secondchariot,בְּמִרְכֶּ֤בֶת (bə·mir·ke·ḇeṯ)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 4818: A chariotwith men calling outוַיִּקְרְא֥וּ (way·yiq·rə·’ū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 7121: To call, proclaim, readbefore him,לְפָנָ֖יו (lə·p̄ā·nāw)Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 6440: The face“Bow the knee!”אַבְרֵ֑ךְ (’aḇ·rêḵ)AdverbStrong's 86: To kneelSo he placedוְנָת֣וֹן (wə·nā·ṯō·wn)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 5414: To give, put, sethim overעַ֖ל (‘al)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe landאֶ֥רֶץ (’e·reṣ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 776: Earth, landof Egypt.מִצְרָֽיִם׃ (miṣ·rā·yim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4714: Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest AfricaJump to PreviousAnd Bow Carriages Causeth Charge Chariot Cried Crying Egypt Knee nd Proclaim Proclaimed Ride Ruler Seat Second Shouted Way
