“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.”
He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and people shouted before him: make way! And he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. The public proclamation — make way — is the communal acknowledgment of Joseph's new status. The application: the elevation that is publicly proclaimed cannot be privately contested. Joseph rides; the people shout; Egypt acknowledges.
