Genesis 41 — Context

And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.

And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.

And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.
