Genesis 41:37-54 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

37. And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,

38. and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God [is]?'

39. and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God's causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;

40. thou--thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.'

41. And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `See, I have put thee over all the land of Egypt.'

42. And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him [with] garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,

43. and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he hath, and they proclaim before him, `Bow the knee!' and--to put him over all the land of Egypt.

44. And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I [am] Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;'

45. and Pharaoh calleth Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt.

46. And Joseph [is] a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of Egypt;

47. and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.

48. And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which [is] round about [each] city hath he put in its midst;

49. and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is no number.

50. And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him,

51. and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;'

52. and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: `for, God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction.'

53. And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,

54. and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread;
