Genesis 41:39-57
New King James Version
Genesis 41:39-57
New King James Version
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 (A)You shall be [a]over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have (B)set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Then Pharaoh (C)took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he (D)clothed him in garments of fine linen (E)and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in the second (F)chariot which he had; (G)and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him (H)over all the land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name [b]Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife (I)Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he (J)stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 47 Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth [c]abundantly. 48 So 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; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. 49 Joseph gathered very much grain, (K)as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
50 (L)And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn [d]Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my (M)father’s house.” 52 And the name of the second he called [e]Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be (N)fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended, 54 (O)and the seven years of famine began to come, (P)as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; (Q)whatever he says to you, do.” 56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened [f]all the storehouses and (R)sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt. 57 (S)So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to (T)buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.

39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you,(A) there is no one so discerning and wise as you.(B) 40 You shall be in charge of my palace,(C) and all my people are to submit to your orders.(D) Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(E)”
Joseph in Charge of Egypt
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”(F) 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring(G) from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes(H) of fine linen(I) and put a gold chain around his neck.(J) 43 He had him ride in a chariot(K) as his second-in-command,[a](L) and people shouted before him, “Make way[b]!”(M) Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.(N)
44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”(O) 45 Pharaoh gave Joseph(P) the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest(Q) of On,[c](R) to be his wife.(S) And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old(T) when he entered the service(U) of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt. 47 During the seven years of abundance(V) the land produced plentifully. 48 Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities.(W) In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. 49 Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea;(X) it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.
50 Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.(Y) 51 Joseph named his firstborn(Z) Manasseh[d](AA) and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” 52 The second son he named Ephraim[e](AB) and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful(AC) in the land of my suffering.”
53 The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end, 54 and the seven years of famine(AD) began,(AE) just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food. 55 When all Egypt began to feel the famine,(AF) the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”(AG)
56 When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians,(AH) for the famine(AI) was severe throughout Egypt.(AJ) 57 And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph,(AK) because the famine was severe everywhere.(AL)
