Genesis 41:37-57 - Joseph Rises To Power

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

46 And Joseph the son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and Joseph will go forth from the face of Pharaoh, and will pass over all the land of Egypt

47 And the earth will make in the seven years of plenty by handfuls. 48 And he will gather all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and he will give the food in the cities: the food of the field of the city which round about her, he gave in the midst of her. 49 And Joseph will gather grain as the sand of the sea, exceedingly much that he ceased to number; for there was no numbering.

50 And to Joseph will be born two sons before the years of the famine will come: which Asenath, daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of Ain, bare to him. 51 And Joseph will call the name of the first-born, Manasseh; for God made me forget all my toils and all my father's house. 52 And the name of the second, he called Ephraim; for God caused me to flourish in the land of my affliction.

53 And the seven years of plenty will be completed, which was in the land of Egypt 54 And the seven years of famine will begin to come, according to that Joseph said: and the famine will be in all the lands; and in all the land of Egypt was bread. 55 And all the land of Egypt shall hunger, and the people will cry out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh will say to all Egypt, Go to Joseph; what he shall say to you, ye shall do. 56 And the famine was upon all the face of the earth: and Joseph will open all which in them, and he will sell to Egypt; and the famine was strong in the land of Egypt

57 And all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy, for the famine was strong in all the earth.
