Genesis 41:39

Verse 39 of 57. The 41st of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

35Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

36The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”

37The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

38Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

39Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.

40You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”

41Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”

42Pharaoh 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.

43He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.
