12:56
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
He said, ‘Appoint me over the treasures of the land, for I am a good keeper, and possessed of knowledge.’
English - Five Volume Translation
He said, ‘Appoint me over the treasures of the land, for I am a good keeper, and possessed of knowledge.’[1559]
Commentary:
Most probably the King offered Joseph the post of Prime Minister, but Joseph preferred charge of the finance department. His choice seems to have been dictated by the desire to enjoy comparative freedom from the material cares and court intrigues which are incidental to premiership and also to give his single-minded attention to the successful running of the department with which the fulfilment of the King’s dream was so deeply concerned.
