VERSE: Gn48-02a

RULE: There is nothing bothersome in the verse.
Jacob (the father) bowing to Joseph (the son but
Vice King) Rashi sees this as part of a typical
pattern that ALL Kings should be given respect,
(Even if they are wicked)



EXAMPLES
--------
    PERSON  KING            TEXT WHERE THEY SHOWED RESPECT
    ------  ---------       ------------------------------
(1) Jacob   To Joseph       Gn48-02
(2) Moses   To Pharoh       Ex11-08 *1
(3) Elijah  To Achav        1Kings18-46


NOTES:
-----
*1 The point behind Ex11-08 is that in Ex12-30 Pharoh himself
WITHOUT any of his servants came down to Moses. But nevertheless
Moses showed him respect in Ex11-08 by saying
These SERVANTS of yours will come down.

In other words he criticized PHAROH'S SERVANTS not
PHAROH himself, apparently to show him respect
