the second chariot] Which was for him who was next to the King, the second man in the Kingdome; all the precedent honour he might have within doores, and that his dignity without might be sutable to this, when he went abroad, as Mordecai was mounted on the Kings horse, Esth. 6. 8. so Joseph must ride in the Kings Chariot; but in the Throne the King reserved to himselfe a settled preeminence, vers. 40. and in the Chariot did he reserve to himselfe a movable preeminence, so that he would have the first place, Joseph shall have the second, and so shall be known to be the second man in the the Kingdome; which is more honour then Daniel had for his reading of the writing on the wall of Belshazzars palace, for he was made for it, not the second, but the third man in the Kingdome, Daniel 5:5. 29. Bow the knee] The word is Abrech, which some expound tender father, or father of a King; for Ab is father in Hebrew, and Rech in the Syriack is sometimes used for a King; from whence perhaps the Latine word Rex, might have its derivation; and Joseph saith of himself that God made him father of the King, Chap. 45. vers. 8. Some derive the word from Ab, which is father, and Rech, which is tender, as meaning Joseph to be a father in prudence, though young and tender in yeares: howsoever, it is a title that cals for reverence, and that reverence may well be bowing of the knee, in which sense also the word is taken by many learned Divines.
