Genesis 41:33-45 - Joseph Advises Pharaoh

33 And now will Pharaoh look out a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt 34 And will Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, exacting a fifth part of the land of Egypt, in the seven years of plenty. 35 And they shall gather all the food of these good years coming, and they shall heap up the grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and they shall watch food in the cities. 36 And the food was for a deposit to the land, for the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.

37 And the word will be good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh will say to his servants, Shall we find such as this man which has the spirit of God in him? 39 And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, After that God showed thee all this, none discerning and wise as thou. 40 Thou shalt be over my house, and to thy mouth all my people shall bend: only upon the throne I shall be great above thee. 41 And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, See, I gave thee over all the land of Egypt 42 And Pharaoh will remove his signet ring from his hand, and will give it upon Joseph's hand; and will put upon him a white garment, and will put a gold collar about his neck. 43 And he will cause him to ride in the second chariot which is to him. And they will cry out before him, Aback. And he gave him over all the land of Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee, a man shall not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt 45 And Pharaoh will call Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he will give to him Asenath, daughter of PotiPherah, priest of Ain, for a wife; and Joseph will go forth over the land of Egypt
