^{38 Ref} and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God `is'?'

^{39 Ref} and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God's causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;

^{40 Ref} thou -- thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.'

^{41 Ref} And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `See, I have put thee over all the land of Egypt.'

^{42 Ref} And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him `with' garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,

^{43 Ref} and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he hath, and they proclaim before him, `Bow the knee!' and -- to put him over all the land of Egypt.

^{44 Ref} And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I `am' Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;'

^{45 Ref} and Pharaoh calleth Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt.

^{46 Ref} And Joseph `is' a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of Egypt;

^{47 Ref} and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.

^{48 Ref} And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which `is' round about `each' city hath he put in its midst;

^{49 Ref} and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is no number.

^{50 Ref} And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him,

^{51 Ref} and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;'

^{52 Ref} and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: `for, God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction.'

^{53 Ref} And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,

^{54 Ref} and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread;

^{55 Ref} and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people crieth unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh saith to all the Egyptians, `Go unto Joseph; that which he saith to you -- do.'

^{56 Ref} And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and Joseph openeth all `places' which have `corn' in them, and selleth to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land of Egypt,

^{57 Ref} and all the earth hath come to Egypt, to buy, unto Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.
