requirements needed by one that was to rule over Egypt.

The king said to Joseph: "Thou didst give me the
counsel to look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over
the land of Egypt, that he may in his wisdom save the land
from the famine. As God hath showed thee all this, and as
thou art master of all the languages of the world, there is
none so discreet and wise as thou. Thou shalt therefore be
the second in the land after Pharaoh, and according unto thy
word shall all my people go in and go out; my princes and
my servants shall receive their monthly appanage from thee;
before thee the people shall prostrate themselves, only in the
throne will I be greater than thou."[182]
