  • Gen 41:38-57 : 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God? 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you. 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt. 42 Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand; and he dressed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they cried out before him, Bow the knee; thus he set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah and gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. 46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and traveled throughout all the land of Egypt. 47 During the seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly. 48 So he gathered up all the food of the seven years that were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. 49 Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure. 50 To Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, For God, he said, has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house. 52 He called the name of the second Ephraim, For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. 53 The seven years of abundance which were in the land of Egypt ended. 54 And the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do. 56 The famine was over all the face of the earth; and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. The famine became severe in the land of Egypt. 57 All countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was so severe in all the lands.
