Genesis 41:37 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:37

And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh
He approved of the advice Joseph gave, and of the scheme and plan which he proposed: and in the eyes of all his servants;
his nobles, ministers of state and courtiers, all highly commended and applauded it; and it was with the general and unanimous consent of all agreed that it should be put into execution: but then the next question, and the thing to be considered, was, who was a person fit to be engaged in such an affair?

Genesis 41:37 In-Context

35 Have them collect all the food during these good years and store up grain under Pharaoh's control, to be kept for food in the cities.

36 This food will be a reserve supply for our country during the seven years of famine that will happen in Egypt. Then the land will not be ruined by the famine."

37 Pharaoh and all his servants liked the idea.

38 So Pharaoh asked his servants, "Can we find anyone like this--a man who has God's Spirit in him?"

39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has let you know all this, there is no one as wise and intelligent as you.
