Genesis 41:33-45 - Joseph Advises Pharaoh

33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, - and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, - so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty. 35 And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, - and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it. 36 So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, - and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.

37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, - and in the eyes of all his servants; 38 and Pharaoh said unto his servants, - Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God? 39 So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee. 40 Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, - only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou. 41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, - See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 42 So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hands and put it upon Joseph's hand, - and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck; 43 and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shah no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt. 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, - and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
