1. Mosebok 41,37

36 Denne maten bør holdes i reserve for landet, for å brukes i de sju årene med hungersnød som vil komme over Egypt, slik at landet ikke blir ødelagt av hungersnøden."

38 Så spurte farao dem: "Kan vi finne noen som denne mannen, en som har Guds ånd?"

39 Da sa farao til Josef: "Siden Gud har gjort alt dette kjent for deg, er det ingen så innsiktsfull og klok som du.
