33 Now therefore let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land and take one-fifth of the produce of the land[a] of Egypt during the seven plentiful years. 35 And (A)let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. 36 That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”
Joseph Rises to Power
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, (B)in whom is the Spirit of God?”[b] 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. 40 (C)You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command.[c] Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, (D)I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh (E)took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and (F)clothed him in garments of fine linen (G)and put a gold chain about his neck. 43 And he made him ride in his second chariot. (H)And they called out before him, “Bow the knee!”[d] Thus he set him (I)over all the land of Egypt. 44 Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and (J)without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”

33 “And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man(A) and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.(B) 34 Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners(C) over the land to take a fifth(D) of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.(E) 35 They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food.(F) 36 This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt,(G) so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”
37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.(H) 38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God[a]?”(I)
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you,(J) there is no one so discerning and wise as you.(K) 40 You shall be in charge of my palace,(L) and all my people are to submit to your orders.(M) Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(N)”
Joseph in Charge of Egypt
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”(O) 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring(P) from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes(Q) of fine linen(R) and put a gold chain around his neck.(S) 43 He had him ride in a chariot(T) as his second-in-command,[b](U) and people shouted before him, “Make way[c]!”(V) Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.(W)
44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”(X)
