## Genesis 41:33-40 in Context (Verses 30–43 KJV)
 
 [30 ](/kjv/genesis/41/30) And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
 
 [31 ](/kjv/genesis/41/31) And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it *shall be* very grievous.*
 
 [32 ](/kjv/genesis/41/32) And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; *it is* because the thing *is* established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.*
 
 [33 ](/kjv/genesis/41/33) Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/genesis/41/34) Let Pharaoh do *this*, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.*
 
 [35 ](/kjv/genesis/41/35) And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/genesis/41/36) And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.*
 
 [37 ](/kjv/genesis/41/37) ¶ And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/genesis/41/38) And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find *such a one* as this *is*, a man in whom the Spirit of God *is*?
 
 [39 ](/kjv/genesis/41/39) And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, *there is* none so discreet and wise as thou *art:*
 
 [40 ](/kjv/genesis/41/40) 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.*
 
 [41 ](/kjv/genesis/41/41) And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/genesis/41/42) And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;*
 
 [43 ](/kjv/genesis/41/43) 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.*
