39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has revealed all these things to you, there is none so prudent and wise as you;

40 Thou shalt be over my house, and all my people shall keep thy word. only in the throne I will be greater than you.

41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'Behold, I set thee over all the land of Egypt.'

42 And Pharaoh took his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand; He dressed him in fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck;

43 And he commanded him to be carried in the second of his chariots, and to proclaim before him, Bow down! And he set him over all the land of Egypt.

44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'I am Pharaoh; without you no man shall move his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paneah, and gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Potipher, the priest of Heliopolis. And Joseph went into the land of Egypt.

46 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.

47 And the earth, in the seven years of plenty, brought forth a handful of grain.

48 And he gathered up every grain of the seven years that were in the land of Egypt, and put the corn in the cities; in every city he laid the corn of the fields surrounding it.

49 And Joseph hauled up bread as much as the sand of the sea, so that he ceased to count, for there was no number.

50 Before the years of famine, Joseph had two sons, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potipher, a priest of Heliopolis, bore him.

51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, because [he said] God has given me to forget all my afflictions, and all my father's house.

52 And to another he called the name Ephraim, because God made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.
