BrTr And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?
BrLXX Καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, μῆ εὑρήσομεν ἄνθρωπον τοιοῦτον, ὃς ἔχει πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ;
(Kai eipe Faraō pasi tois paisin autou, maʸ heuraʸsomen anthrōpon toiouton, hos eⱪei pneuma Theou en autōi;)
41:1-46 God had used two dreams to identify Joseph as a leader among his brothers (37:5-11). He used two dreams to test Joseph’s faith in prison (40:5-14). Now he would use two dreams to elevate Joseph from prison to preeminence. Joseph had repeatedly proven faithful in small matters; now he would be put in charge of great things.
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֖ה אֶל עֲבָדָ֑יו

Alternate translation: “So Pharaoh said to his officials,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲנִמְצָ֣א כָזֶ֔ה אִ֕ישׁ
?,find like,this (a)_man
Pharaoh uses a rhetorical question here to emphasize that no one is more qualified than Joseph. Consider whether it is better in your language to translate this quote using a question or a statement. Alternate translation: “It is obvious that we will never find a man as qualified as Joseph,”
אֲשֶׁ֛ר ר֥וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֖ים בּֽוֹ
which/who spirit ʼElohīm in/on/over=him/it
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “who has God’s Spirit in him” or “whom God’s Spirit guides” or (2) “who has a divine spirit in him” or “who has a spirit of the gods in him”. Most translations follow the first interpretation, since Joseph had just talked to Pharaoh about God (verses 16, 28, 32) and Pharaoh acknowledges God in verse 39.
