Hello @Robt_Nielsen
Johann Knopf's occupation is: Wirthschafts-Inspector.
It might be loosely translated as a farm economy inspector.
One source online defined this as: "Lehrer für praktische landwirthschaftlicher Uebungen" = teacher for practical agricultural exercises.
Google Translate and Deepl translate this as: business inspector or economic inspector. But these translators are based on modern German and your record is from 1842.
You may want to google the word yourself (without the hyphen, as one single long word: Wirthschaftsinspector) and see the hits that you get.
Also try googling this variant spelling: Wirtschaftsinspektor.

You're welcome @Robt_Nielsen. Hopefully one of the community's native German members will be able to add greater insight into this occupation.
