Then
Pharaoh said to his
servants, "Can we
find a
man like
this, in
whom is a
divine spirit?"

So
Pharaoh said to
Joseph,
"Since God has
informed you of
all this,
there is
no one so
discerning and
wise as you are.

"You shall be

people shall
do homage;
only in the

Pharaoh said to

set you
over all the

Then
Pharaoh took off his
signet ring from his
hand and
put it on
Joseph's hand, and
clothed him in
garments of
fine linen and
put the
gold necklace around his
neck.

He had him
ride in his

proclaimed before him,
"Bow the

set him
over all the
land of
Egypt.

Moreover,
Pharaoh said to
Joseph, "Though I am
Pharaoh, yet
without your permission
no one shall
raise his
hand or

all the
land of
Egypt."

Then
Pharaoh named * Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he
gave him
Asenath, the
daughter of
Potiphera priest of
On, as his
wife. And
Joseph went forth over the
land of
Egypt.

Now
Joseph was
thirty years old when he
stood before Pharaoh,
king of
Egypt. And
Joseph went out from the
presence of
Pharaoh and
went through all the
land of
Egypt.

During the
seven years of
plenty the
land brought forth abundantly.

So he
gathered all the
food of these
seven years which occurred in the
land of
Egypt and
placed the
food in the
cities; he
placed in every
city the
food from its own
surrounding fields.

Thus
Joseph stored up
grain in
great abundance like the
sand of the
sea,
until * he
stopped measuring it, for it was
beyond measure.
