Genesis 41:33-45

33NowH6258 thereforeH6258 let PharaohH6547 lookH7200 out a manH376 discreet and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 do this, and let him appointH6485 overseersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth part of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteous yearsH8141. 35And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of these goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay up grainH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 for foodH400 in the citiesH5892, and let them keepH8104 it. 36And the foodH400 shall beH1961 for a store to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall beH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perish not through the famineH7458.

37And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650. 38And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Can we findH4672 such a oneH376 as this, a manH376 in whom the spiritH7307 of GodH430 is? 39And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Forasmuch as GodH430 hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wiseH2450 as thou: 40thou shalt beH1961 over my houseH1004, and according unto thy word shall all my peopleH5971 beH1961 ruled: onlyH7535 in the throneH3678 will I beH1961 greaterH1431 than thou. 41And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, SeeH7200, I have setH5414 thee over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 42And PharaohH6547 took off his signet ringH2885 from his handH3027, and putH5414 it upon Joseph’s handH3027, and arrayed him in vestures of fineH8336 linenH8336, and putH5414 a goldH2091 chainH7242 about his neckH6677; 43and he madeH5414 him to rideH7392 in the secondH4932 chariotH4818 which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he setH5414 him over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 44And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I am PharaohH6547, and without thee shall no manH376 liftH7311 up his handH3027 or his footH7272 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 45And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 Joseph’s nameH8034 Zaphenath-paneah; and he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 AsenathH621, the daughterH1323 of Poti-phera priestH3548 of On. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 out over the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
