Joseph trained the king’s officers the way he wanted and taught his respected leaders wisdom.
“Pharaoh should look for a wise and intelligent man and put him in charge of Egypt.
So Pharaoh asked his servants, “Can we find anyone like this—a man who has God’s Spirit in him?”
He also said to Joseph, “Even though I am Pharaoh, no one anywhere in Egypt will do anything without your permission.”
The leaders of Zoan are nothing but fools. The wisest of Pharaoh’s counselors gives stupid advice. How can you tell Pharaoh, “I’m a descendant of wise men, a descendant of ancient kings”?
