Genesis47:7
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Not in an authoritative way, as the greater blesseth the less, [illegible: 1 word] in a general manner▪ i. e. he saluted him, thanked him for all his favours to him and his and prayed to God to bless and recompense him for it. Thus blessing is put for saluting, 1 Sam. 13. 10. 2 King. 4. 29. for praying, Numb. 6. 23, 24. for thanksgiving, Matth. 26. 26. compare with Luke 22. 19.
