Genesis 41:33-45 - Joseph Advises Pharaoh
33 Now then, let Pharaoh select a man [who is] discerning and wise, and let him set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do [this], and let him appoint supervisors over the land, and let him take one-fifth from the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance. 35 Then let them gather all the food of these coming good years and let them pile up grain under the hand of Pharaoh [for] food in the cities, and let them keep [it]. 36 Then the food shall be as a deposit for the land for the seven years of the famine that will be in the land of Egypt, that the land will not perish on account of the famine."
37 And the plan was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this in whom is the spirit of God?" 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all of this known to you there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be over my house, and to your word all my people shall submit. Only [with respect to] the throne will I be greater than you." 41 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt." 42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his finger and put it on the finger of Joseph. And he clothed him with garments of fine linen, and he put a chain of gold around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in his second chariot. And they cried out before him, "Kneel!" And Pharaoh set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I [am] Pharaoh, but without your consent no one will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt." 45 And Pharaoh called the name of Joseph Zaphenath-paneah and gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
