Genesis 41:33. Now therefore let Pharaoh, &c.— It was the Spirit of God, and not his own ambition, which inspired Joseph to give this counsel to Pharaoh. He was ignorant himself whom GOD would destine to the charge; and how could he flatter himself that he should be elevated to such a station, who came out of prison, and was among the AEgyptians only as an obscure man, sold as a common slave? In following ages, the Romans created a magistrate upon this model, under the title of praefectus... read more

Genesis 41:34. Officers, &c.— The Hebrew signifies, literally, overseers. The Hebrew פקיד pekid, as the Greek επισκοπος, whence we have formed our English word bishop, is a man who has a charge or office, for any business, civil, military, or ecclesiastic. Fifth part of the land— That is, the fifth part of the fruits of the earth, or rather of the corn, which grew during the years of plenty. It has been asked, why a fifth part? why not half, since there were to be as many years of famine as... read more

Genesis 41:35. Let them— That is, the overseers gather all the food; that is, all the fifth part appropriated to the king, of the following good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh; that is, in granaries appointed for that purpose in every city, and to be under the immediate power and direction of the king. read more

25. Joseph said, . . . The dream . . . is one—They both pointed to the same event—a remarkable dispensation of seven years of unexampled abundance, to be followed by a similar period of unparalleled dearth. The repetition of the dream in two different forms was designed to show the absolute certainty and speedy arrival of this public crisis; the interpretation was accompanied by several suggestions of practical wisdom for meeting so great an emergency as was impending. read more

33. Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man—The explanation given, when the key to the dreams was supplied, appears to have been satisfactory to the king and his courtiers; and we may suppose that much and anxious conversation arose, in the course of which Joseph might have been asked whether he had anything further to say. No doubt the providence of God provided the opportunity of his suggesting what was necessary. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 41:25-36

Joseph also presented God as sovereign over Pharaoh (Genesis 41:25; Genesis 41:28). The Egyptians regarded Pharaoh as a divine manifestation in human form. By accepting Joseph’s interpretation of his dreams Pharaoh chose to place himself under Joseph’s God. God rewarded this humility by preserving the land of Egypt in the coming famine.". . . the writer has gone out of his way to present the whole narrative in a series of pairs, all fitting within the notion of the emphasis given by means of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 41:1-57

The Dreams of Pharaoh and the Advancement of Joseph1. Pharaoh] It is believed that a dynasty of Asiatic (perhaps Bedouin) conquerors, known as the Hyksôs or Shepherd kings, were now in power in Egypt. Their rule lasted for 500 years, until 1700 or 1600 b.c., when a native Nubian dynasty from Thebes expelled the invaders. The court was at Zoan on the eastern frontier of Egypt. The elevation of Joseph to an almost royal position, and the welcome extended to his kinsmen, were natural at the hands... read more

(34) Take up the fifth part of the land.—Heb., let him fifth the land, that is, exact a fifth part of the produce. It has been supposed that it had been usual in Egypt to pay to the king a tithe of the crop, and the doubling of the impost would not press very heavily on the people in these years of extraordinary abundance. As the reason of the enactment would be made known, it would also induce all careful people to store up a portion of their own superabundance for future need. Subsequently, a... read more
