Genesis 41:33-44
“ So now Pharaoh should look for a wise and discerning man and give him authority over all the land of Egypt.Pharaoh should do this– he should appoint officials throughout the land to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.They should gather all the excess food during these good years that are coming. By Pharaoh’s authority they should store up grain so the cities will have food, and they should preserve it.This food should be held in storage for the land in preparation for the seven years of famine that will occur throughout the land of Egypt. In this way the land will survive the famine.”This advice made sense to Pharaoh and all his officials.So Pharaoh asked his officials,“ Can we find a man like Joseph, one in whom the Spirit of God is present?”So Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Because God has enabled you to know all this, there is no one as wise and discerning as you are!You will oversee my household, and all my people will submit to your commands. Only I, the king, will be greater than you.“ See here,” Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ I place you in authority over all the land of Egypt.”Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his own hand and put it on Joseph’s. He clothed him with fine linen clothes and put a gold chain around his neck.Pharaoh had him ride in the chariot used by his second-in-command, and they cried out before him,“ Kneel down!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.Pharaoh also said to Joseph,“ I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will move his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
