Genesis 41:41-49

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴¹ Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”

⁴² And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in garments of fine linen, and put a golden chain around his neck.

⁴³ So, he sat him upon the best chariot that he had, except one. And they cried before him, “Abrech,” and placed him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ Again, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. And no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in the land of Egypt without you.”

⁴⁵ And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name “Zaphnath-Paaneah”. And he gave him Asenath as wife, the daughter of Poti-Pherah, Prince of On. Then Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, King of Egypt. And Joseph, leaving the presence of Pharaoh, went throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁷ And in the seven plenteous years, the earth brought forth abundantly.

⁴⁸ And he gathered up all the food of the seven plenteous years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. The food of the field, which was outside the cities, he laid up in the same.

⁴⁹ So Joseph gathered wheat like the sand of the sea in multitude, out of measure, until he stopped counting (for it was without number).
