he bowed himself
|

"Joseph thus shewed that his external greatness did not render him forgetful of the respect due to his father. The Egyptians were remarkable for the reverence paid to old age: ""for if a young person meet his senior, he instantly turns aside to make way for him; if an aged person enter an apartment, the youth always rise from their seats;"" and Mr. Savary observes, that the same reverence is still paid to old age in Egypt. Gen 18:2; Gen 19:1; Gen 23:7; Gen 33:3; Gen 42:6; Exd 20:12; Exd 34:8; Lev 19:3,32; 1Ki 2:19; 2Ki 4:37; Pro 31:28; Eph 6:1" |
