“And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.”
When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians: go to Joseph and do what he tells you. The delegation of food distribution to Joseph — go to Joseph, do what he tells you — is Pharaoh's full deployment of the authority given in verses 40-41. The application: the authority given in the good years is the authority that serves in the hard years. Joseph's elevation was for this purpose.
