³³ “Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁹ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

³ Therefore, brethren, ^(A)seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this ^(B)business;

¹³ Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among your tribes, and I will make them ^[a]heads over you.’

¹⁹ Listen now to my voice; I will give you ^[a]counsel, and God will be with you: Stand ^(A)before God for the people, so that you may ^(B)bring the difficulties to God. ²⁰ And you shall ^(C)teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and ^(D)the work they must do. ²¹ Moreover you shall select from all the people ^(E)able men, such as ^(F)fear God, ^(G)men of truth, ^(H)hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. ²² And let them judge the people at all times. ^(I)Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for ^(J)they will bear the burden with you.
