Now therefore let Pharaoh seek 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 a 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 for 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 counsel 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, "Inasmuch as God hath shown 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."
