Genesis 41:33-45 - Joseph Advises Pharaoh

33 Now therefore, let Pharaoh provide for a man of understanding and wisdom, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 And let Pharaoh make officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years 35 and let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the power of Pharaoh: that there may be food in the cities, 36 and there let them keep it: that there may be food in store in the land, against the seven years of hunger which shall come in the land of Egypt, and that the land perish not through hunger."

37 And the saying pleased Pharaoh and all his servants. 38 Then said Pharaoh unto his servants, "Where shall we find such a man as this is, that hath the spirit of God in him?" 39 Wherefore Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is no man of understanding nor of wisdom like unto thee. 40 Thou therefore shalt be over my house, and according to thy word shall all my people obey: only in the king's seat will I be above thee." 41 And he said unto Joseph, "Behold, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt." 42 And he took off his ring from his finger, and put it upon Joseph's finger, and he arrayed him in raiment of byss, and put a golden chain about his neck, 43 and set him upon the best chariot that he had, save one. And they cried before him "Abrech!" And that Pharaoh had made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "I am Pharaoh; without thy will, shall no man lift up either his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt." 45 And he called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. Then went Joseph abroad in the land of Egypt.
