Genesis 41:38

A man in whom the Spirit of God is. Joseph’s counsel was so sound and pleasing to Pharaoh and his counselors that the king proposed the appointment of Joseph as minister of food, and granted him emergency powers. If this Pharaoh was a Semitic Hyksos, as is likely, his evaluation of Joseph as “a man in whom the Spirit of God [’Elohim] is” can easily be understood. It is not clear, however, in what sense Pharaoh understood the word Elohim, the plural of Eloah. It is used by Bible writers to designate both the true God and heathen deities. Whether the king referred to the Elohim of Joseph (vs. 16, 25, 28, 32) as one God or to several of his own deities is uncertain, although Joseph had used the singular verb form in describing God’s activities. Since he was certainly an idolater and a polytheist, Pharaoh may have conceived that Joseph was talking of “gods,” and if so, Pharaoh’s statement would be translated, “a man in whom the spirit of the gods is.”
