JOSEPH OVER EGYPT
Gen.41:42-45

Joseph was given supreme command over Egypt (Gen. 41:42–45). Some have equated him with a prime minister, but he probably held far more authority than a modern prime minister since his was an appointed, not an elected position.

Apparently Joseph was the chief magistrate over Egypt with wide-ranging powers, perhaps including oversight of legal, foreign, financial, military, civil, historical, agricultural, and commercial affairs.
