“Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.”
And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt. The unsolicited administrative recommendation — find someone discerning and wise — is Joseph's transition from interpretation to application. He has answered the question Pharaoh asked; now he goes further. The application: the person who interprets the problem and proposes the solution is more useful than the person who interprets the problem and waits to be asked.
