Verses 9-24
Joseph carefully gave God the glory for his interpretive gift in his response to Pharaoh (Genesis 41:16).
"As far as Joseph was concerned, absolute truthfulness in guarding God’s honor was far more important than personal advantages." [Note: Leupold, 2:1025-26.]
"Like Daniel before Nebuchadnezzar, he expressly disclaims all ability of himself to unfold the secret counsels of heaven, or exercise that wisdom for which Pharaoh seems very willing to give him credit. The same humility has been in every age a distinguishing ornament of all God’s faithful servants." [Note: Bush, 2:277.]
