       Joseph thus shewed that his external greatness did not render
       him forgetful of the respect due to his father.  The
       Egyptians were remarkable for the reverence paid to old age:
       "for if a young person meet his senior, he instantly turns
       aside to make way for him; if an aged person enter an
       apartment, the youth always rise from their seats;" and Mr.
       Savary observes, that the same reverence is still paid to old
       age in Egypt.
