Genesis 41:37-57 - Joseph Rises To Power
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.
46 Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls, 48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in cities - the food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it. 49 Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, - until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.
50 Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, - whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him. 51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, - For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father. 52 And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.
53 Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, - which was in the land of Egypt; 54 and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, - and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread. 55 Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, - and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, - Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do. 56 Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, - so Joseph opened all places wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.
57 All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, - because the famine had laid fast hold on an the earth.
