"Which in Coptic signifies a revealer of secrets, or, the man to whom secrets are revealed. Jerome says this name signified in Egyptian, Savatorem mundi, ""the Saviour of the world;"" and Psotem-phaneh, in Coptic, is certainly ""salvation of the world,"" from [SOT] for [soteria ( swthriđa )] salvation, em, the sign of the genitive case, and [PHENEH], world. If this interpretation be correct, Pharaoh must have meant Egypt by the world, or which Joseph might be justly termed the Saviour. We know that the Romans called their empire Universis Orbis-Orbis Terrarum, ""all the world:"" the Chinese say the same of their empire at the present day, and the phrase is used in the East: Nadir Shah is described on his coins as ""Conqueror of the World,"" i.e., Persia. See the same phraseology applied to Syria, Palestine, etc. Luk 2:1; Act 11:28" |
