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 and all the wheat be kept under the power of Pharaoh (and let all the corn, or the grain, be kept under Pharaoh's power), and be it kept in [the] cities,

36 and be it made ready to the hunger to coming of the seven years that shall oppress Egypt, and the land be not wasted by poverty. (and have it made ready for the seven years of famine to come that shall oppress Egypt, and so the land shall not be destroyed by neediness.)

37 The counsel of Joseph pleased Pharaoh, and all his servants,

38 and he spake to them, Whether we be able to find such a man which is full of God's spirit? (and Pharaoh said to them, Could we find any other man who is so full of God's spirit as this man is?)

39 Therefore Pharaoh said to Joseph, For God hath showed to thee all things which thou hast spoken, whether I may find a wiser man than thou, and like to thee? (And so Pharaoh said to Joseph, For God hath shown to thee all the things which thou hast spoken, I know that I cannot find a wiser man than thou, or anyone even like thee!)
