Génesis 41:39 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:39

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph
After his servants had agreed to his being the man: at least Pharaoh had declared his mind that he should be the person; which if any of them disliked, as probably might be the case of some through envy, and as desirous of the post themselves, yet durst not make any opposition to it: forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this;
the interpretation of his dreams, what would be hereafter for fourteen years to come, what was advisable to be done for the good of the nation, and had proposed a plan so well contrived and formed: [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art];
and consequently none so fit for this business, since he was so divinely qualified; and Justin, the Heathen writer F18, observes that he had such knowledge and experience of things, that his answers seemed to be given not from men, but from God.

Génesis 41:39 In-Context

37 Al faraón y a sus servidores les pareció bueno el plan.
38 Entonces el faraón les preguntó a sus servidores:—¿Podremos encontrar una persona así, en quien repose el espíritu de Dios?
39 Luego le dijo a José:—Puesto que Dios te ha revelado todo esto, no hay nadie más competente y sabio que tú.
40 Quedarás a cargo de mi palacio, y todo mi pueblo cumplirá tus órdenes. Solo yo tendré más autoridad que tú, porque soy el rey.
41 Así que el faraón le informó a José:—Mira, yo te pongo a cargo de todo el territorio de Egipto.
