Genesis 41:37-44

Genesis 41:37-44 NCV

This seemed like a very good idea to the king, and all his officers agreed. And the king asked them, “Can we find a better man than Joseph to take this job? God’s spirit is truly in him!” So the king said to Joseph, “God has shown you all this. There is no one as wise and understanding as you are, so I will put you in charge of my palace. All the people will obey your orders, and only I will be greater than you.” Then the king said to Joseph, “Look! I have put you in charge of all the land of Egypt.” Then the king took off from his own finger his ring with the royal seal on it, and he put it on Joseph’s finger. He gave Joseph fine linen clothes to wear, and he put a gold chain around Joseph’s neck. The king had Joseph ride in the second royal chariot, and people walked ahead of his chariot calling, “Bow down!” By doing these things, the king put Joseph in charge of all of Egypt. The king said to him, “I am the king, and I say that no one in all the land of Egypt may lift a hand or a foot without your permission.”
