【释义】：

委派约瑟为相，(喻)步步高升

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Ge-n.41:39-43

法老对约瑟说：“神既将这事都指示你，可见没有人像你这样有聪明有智慧。

你可以掌管我的家，我的民都必听从你的话，惟独在宝座上我比你大。”

法老又对约瑟说：“我派你治理埃及全地。”

法老就摘下手上打印的戒指，戴在约瑟的手上，给他穿上细麻衣，把金链戴在他的颈项上。

又叫约瑟坐他的副车，喝道的在前呼叫说：“跪下!”这样，法老派他治理埃及全地。
