Genesis 41

31  And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.

32  And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, 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 overseers 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 these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

36  And the food shall be for a 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, a man in whom the spirit of God is?

39  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou:

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.
