41:37. The counsel pleased Pharao, and all his servants.
41:38. And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full
of the spirit of God?
41:39. He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that
thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
41:40. Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth
all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above
thee.
41:41. And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee
over the whole land of Egypt.
41:42. And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his
hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about
his neck.
41:43. And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier
proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they
should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.
41:44. And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao: without thy commandment
no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
41:45. And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue the
saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth, the daughter of
Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of
Egypt.
The saviour of the world... Zaphnah paaneah.
41:46. (Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao),
and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
41:47. And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being
bound up into sheaves, was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
41:48. And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
41:49. And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to
the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
41:50. And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom
Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis, bore unto him.
41:51. And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God
hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father's house.
Manasses... That is, oblivion, or forgetting.
41:52. And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow
in the land of my poverty.
Ephraim... That is, fruitful, or growing.
41:53. Now when the seven years of plenty that had been in Egypt were
passed:
41:54. The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to
come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread
in all the land of Egypt.
41:55. And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried
to Pharao, for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that
he shall say to you.
41:56. And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened
all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed
them also.
41:57. And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some
relief of their want.
Genesis Chapter 42
Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt. Their treatment by
Joseph.
