34. That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
35. That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao's hands and be reserved in the cities.
36. And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not consumed with scarcity.
37. The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
38. And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
39. He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
40. Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.
41. And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
42. And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.
43. And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made govenor over the whole land of Egypt.
44. And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45. And he turned his name, and called him in the Eyyptian tounge, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Asenth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:
46. (Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
47. And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corm being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
48. And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
49. And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
50. And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
