041:033 "Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man,
and set him over the land of Egypt.
041:034 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land,
and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt's produce
in the seven plenteous years.
041:035 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come,
and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities,
and let them keep it.
041:036 The food will be for a store to the land against the seven
years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt;
that the land not perish through the famine."
041:037 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes
of all his servants.
041:038 Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this,
a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
041:039 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this,
there is none so discreet and wise as you.
041:040 You shall be over my house, and according to your word
will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be
greater than you."
041:041 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all
the land of Egypt."
041:042 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it
on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen,
and put a gold chain about his neck,
041:043 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had.
They cried before him, "Bow the knee!" He set him over all
the land of Egypt.
041:044 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without you shall
no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."
