32 And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the athing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 “Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint1 officers over the land, ato collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.
35 And alet them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the1 authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land amay not perish during the famine.”
Joseph’s Rise to Power

38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man ain whom is the Spirit of God?”
