01:041:038 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as
this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
01:041:039 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed
thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
01:041:040 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall
all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater
than thou.
01:041:041 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all
the land of Egypt.
01:041:042 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon
Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and
put a gold chain about his neck;
01:041:043 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had;
and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler
over all the land of Egypt.
01:041:044 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee
shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of
Egypt.
01:041:045 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave
him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On.
And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
01:041:046 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh
king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of
Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
01:041:047 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
handfuls.
01:041:048 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were
in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the
food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he
up in the same.
01:041:049 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much,
until he left numbering; for it was without number.
01:041:050 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine
came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On
bare unto him.
01:041:051 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God,
said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's
house.
01:041:052 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
01:041:053 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of
Egypt, were ended.
01:041:054 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as
Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all
the land of Egypt there was bread.
01:041:055 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried
to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians,
Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
