Genesis 41:29-43
-
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
-
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
-
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
-
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
-
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
-
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
-
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
-
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
-
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 as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
-
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
-
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in 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 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
-
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
