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 They should collect all of the extra food of the good years that are coming. Pharaoh should give them authority to store up the grain. They should keep it in the cities for food.

36 "The grain should be stored up for the country to use later. It will be needed during the seven years when there isn't enough food in Egypt. Then the country won't be destroyed just because it doesn't have enough food."

37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and all of his officials.

38 So Pharaoh said to them, "The spirit of God is in this man. We can't find anyone else like him, can we?"

39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "God has made all of this known to you. No one is as wise and understanding as you are.
