Book of Genesis - Chapter 41 - Verse 38

41:38
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

Meaning

Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, uttered these words in reference to Joseph, a Hebrew who had been brought before him. Pharaoh was struck by Joseph's wisdom, discernment, and ability to interpret dreams, specifically the dream about seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh recognized that Joseph possessed a unique quality, stating that he was a man in whom the Spirit of God resided. This admission from Pharaoh, a pagan ruler, highlights the undeniable presence of God's spirit within Joseph. It serves as a testament to Joseph's character, integrity, and faithfulness to God, even in the midst of challenging circumstances.
