106. "And Joseph was the governor of the land." Rabbi Yesa opened the discussion with the verse, "And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me, therefore I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet sound; I will sing, and I will make melody to Hashem" (Tehilim 27:6). Come and behold, When the Holy One, blessed be He, takes pleasure in a man, He raises him above all the inhabitants of the world and makes him ruler over them. All his enemies are subdued under him.
106. וְיוֹסֵף הוּא הַשַּׁלִּיט עַל הָאָרֶץ וגו,' ר' יֵיסָא פְּתַח וַאֲמַר, וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אוֹיְבַי סְבִיבוֹתַי וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְּאָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַיי.' תָּא חֲזֵי, כַּד קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אִתְרְעֵי בֵּיהּ בְּבַר נָשׁ, זָקֵיף לֵיהּ עַל כָּל בְּנֵי עַלְמָא, וְעָבֵיד לֵיהּ רֵישָׁא דְכֹלָּא, וְכֻלְּהוּ שָׂנְאוֹי אִתְכַּפְיָין תְּחוֹתוֹי.
