35 They shall take all the bread of these good years that are coming, and gather up the corn in the cities under Pharaoh's guidance for food, and they shall keep it.

36 And this food shall be a store for the land for the seven years of famine that shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish of famine.

37 This pleased Pharaoh and all his servants.

38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, 'Shall we find a man like him, who has the Spirit of God in him?'

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.
