* And Pharaoh said unto his servants , Can we find such a one as this is , a man in whom the Spirit of God is ? * And Pharaoh said unto Joseph , Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this , there is none so discreet and wise as thou art : * Thou shalt be over my house , and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled : only in the throne will I be greater than thou . * And Pharaoh said unto Joseph , See , I have set thee over all the land of Egypt . * And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand , and put it upon Josephs hand , and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen , and put a gold chain about his neck tsavva #r #; * And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had ; and they cried before him , Bow the knee : and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt . * And Pharaoh said unto Joseph , I am Pharaoh Par #oh #, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt . * And Pharaoh called Josephs name Zaphnathpaaneah Tsophnath Pa #neach #; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah Powtiypriest of On . And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt . * And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt . And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh Par #oh #, and went throughout all the land of Egypt . * And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls . * And 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 : the food of the field , which was round about every city , laid he up in the same . * And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea , very much , until he left numbering ; for it was without number . * And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came , which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah Powtiypriest of On bare unto him . * And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh : For God , said he , hath made me forget all my toil , and all my fathers house . * And the name of the second called he Ephraim : For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction . * And the seven years of plenteousness , that was in the land of Egypt , were ended . * And the seven years of dearth began to come , according as Joseph had said : and the dearth was in all lands ; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread . * And when all the land of Egypt was famished , the people cried to Pharaoh for bread : and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians , Go unto Joseph ; what he saith to you , do . * And the famine was over all the face of the earth : And Joseph opened all the storehouses , and sold unto the Egyptians ; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt . * And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ; because that the famine was so sore in all lands .
