Genesis 41:37-46

Joseph’s proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his advisers. He said to them, “Where can we find anyone else like this one, for he has the Spirit of God in him!” So Pharaoh turned to Joseph and said, “Since God has divinely revealed this to you, there is no one as wise and full of insight as you. I hereby place you in charge of all my affairs, and all my people will obey your commands. Only I, the king, will be greater than you! “Listen to me, Joseph,” Pharaoh continued. “I am placing you in charge of all of Egypt.” Then he removed his signet ring, placed it on Joseph’s finger, and had him clothed with fine linen robes! He adorned him with a golden collar around his neck. Pharaoh had him ride in the chariot reserved for the second-in-command and sent runners going before him, crying out, “Kneel!” In this way, Pharaoh placed Joseph over all the land of Egypt. Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. No one in all of Egypt will lift a finger without your permission!” Pharaoh gave Joseph a new name: Revealer of Secrets. He also arranged for him to marry the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of Heliopolis. Her name was Asenath. And Joseph took charge over all the land of Egypt. Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Leaving Pharaoh’s presence, Joseph traveled throughout the entire land of Egypt.
