1 At the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. As he was standing by the Nile,

2 seven fine-looking, fat cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.

3 Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile, and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river.

4 The bad-looking, thin cows ate the seven fine-looking, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.

5 Then he fell asleep again and had a second dream: There were seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, healthy and good.

6 Then seven heads of grain, thin and burned by the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

7 The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream.

8 In the morning he was troubled, so he called for all the diviner-priests of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, "Today I recall my failures.

10 Pharaoh was enraged with his servants, and he put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guards� me and the chief baker.

11 We each had a dream one night; each of us had a dream with its own meaning.

12 Now a young man, a Hebrew, a servant of the captain of the guards, was with us there. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted the meaning of each of our respective dreams for us.

13 It happened just as he had said to us� Pharaoh restored me to my office, but he impaled the baker."

14 Then Pharaoh summoned Joseph. So they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came before Pharaoh.

15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard about you, that you can interpret dreams."

16 Joseph replied to Pharaoh, "It is not within my power, but God will speak concerning the welfare of Pharaoh."

17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream I was standing by the edge of the Nile.

18 Then seven fat and fine-looking cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.

19 Then seven other cows came up after them; they were scrawny, very bad-looking, and lean. I had never seen such bad-looking cows as these in all the land of Egypt!

20 The lean, bad-looking cows ate up the seven fat cows.

21 When they had eaten them, no one would have known that they had done so, for they were just as bad-looking as before. Then I woke up.

22 I also saw in my dream seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.

23 Then seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. So I told all this to the diviner-priests, but no one could tell me its meaning."

25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Both dreams of Pharaoh have the same meaning. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

26 The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. Both dreams have the same meaning.

27 The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent seven years of famine.

28 This is just what I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

29 Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.

30 But seven years of famine will occur after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land.

31 The previous abundance of the land will not be remembered because of the famine that follows, for the famine will be very severe.

32 The dream was repeated to Pharaoh because the matter has been decreed by God, and God will make it happen soon.

33 "So now Pharaoh should look for a wise and discerning man and give him authority over all the land of Egypt.

34 Pharaoh should do this� he should appoint officials throughout the land to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.

35 They should gather all the excess food during these good years that are coming. By Pharaoh's authority they should store up grain so the cities will have food, and they should preserve it.

36 This food should be held in storage for the land in preparation for the seven years of famine that will occur throughout the land of Egypt. In this way the land will survive the famine."

37 This advice made sense to Pharaoh and all his officials.

38 So Pharaoh asked his officials, "Can we find a man like Joseph, one in whom the Spirit of God is present?"

39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has enabled you to know all this, there is no one as wise and discerning as you are!

40 You will oversee my household, and all my people will submit to your commands. Only I, the king, will be greater than you.

41 "See here," Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I place you in authority over all the land of Egypt."

42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his own hand and put it on Joseph's. He clothed him with fine linen clothes and put a gold chain around his neck.

43 Pharaoh had him ride in the chariot used by his second-in-command, and they cried out before him, "Kneel down!" So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.

44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will move his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."

45 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-Paneah. He also gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.

46 Now Joseph was 30 years old when he began serving Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph was commissioned by Pharaoh and was in charge of all the land of Egypt.

47 During the seven years of abundance the land produced large, bountiful harvests.

48 Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt during the seven years and stored it in the cities. In every city he put the food gathered from the fields around it.

49 Joseph stored up a vast amount of grain, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it because it was impossible to measure.

50 Two sons were born to Joseph before the famine came. Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, was their mother.

51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, "Certainly God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's house."

52 He named the second child Ephraim, saying, "Certainly God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."

53 The seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end.

54 Then the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had predicted. There was famine in all the other lands, but throughout the land of Egypt there was food.

55 When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the people of Egypt, "Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you."

56 While the famine was over all the earth, Joseph opened the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians. The famine was severe throughout the land of Egypt.

57 People from every country came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain because the famine was severe throughout the earth.

1 And it came to pass ^H1961 at the end ^H4480 ^H7093 of two full years ^H8141 ^H3117 , that Pharaoh ^H6547 dreamed: ^H2492 and, behold, ^H2009 he stood ^H5975 by ^H5921 the river. ^H2975

2 And, behold, ^H2009 there came up ^H5927 out of ^H4480 the river ^H2975 seven ^H7651 well ^H3303 favored ^H4758 kine ^H6510 and fatfleshed ^H1277 ^H1320 ; and they fed ^H7462 in a meadow. ^H260

3 And, behold, ^H2009 seven ^H7651 other ^H312 kine ^H6510 came up ^H5927 after ^H310 them out of ^H4480 the river, ^H2975 ill ^H7451 favored ^H4758 and leanfleshed ^H1851 ^H1320 ; and stood ^H5975 by ^H681 the other kine ^H6510 upon ^H5921 the brink ^H8193 of the river. ^H2975

4 And the ill ^H7451 favored ^H4758 and leanfleshed ^H1851 ^H1320 kine ^H6510 did eat up ^H398 ^H853 the seven ^H7651 well ^H3303 favored ^H4758 and fat ^H1277 kine. ^H6510 So Pharaoh ^H6547 awoke. ^H3364

5 And he slept ^H3462 and dreamed ^H2492 the second time: ^H8145 and, behold, ^H2009 seven ^H7651 ears of corn ^H7641 came up ^H5927 upon one ^H259 stalk, ^H7070 rank ^H1277 and good. ^H2896

6 And, behold, ^H2009 seven ^H7651 thin ^H1851 ears ^H7641 and blasted ^H7710 with the east wind ^H6921 sprung up ^H6779 after ^H310 them.

7 And the seven thin ^H1851 ears ^H7641 devoured ^H1104 ^H853 the seven ^H7651 rank ^H1277 and full ^H4392 ears. ^H7641 And Pharaoh ^H6547 awoke, ^H3364 and, behold, ^H2009 it was a dream. ^H2472

8 And it came to pass ^H1961 in the morning ^H1242 that his spirit ^H7307 was troubled; ^H6470 and he sent ^H7971 and called for ^H7121 ^H853 all ^H3605 the magicians ^H2748 of Egypt, ^H4714 and all ^H3605 the wise men ^H2450 thereof : and Pharaoh ^H6547 told ^H5608 them ^H853 his dream; ^H2472 but there was none ^H369 that could interpret ^H6622 them unto Pharaoh. ^H6547

9 Then spoke ^H1696 the chief ^H8269 butler ^H4945 ^H853 unto Pharaoh, ^H6547 saying, ^H559 I ^H589 do remember ^H2142 ^H853 my faults ^H2399 this day: ^H3117

10 Pharaoh ^H6547 was wroth ^H7107 with ^H5921 his servants, ^H5650 and put ^H5414 me in ward ^H4929 in the captain ^H8269 of the guard's ^H2876 house, ^H1004 both me and the chief ^H8269 baker: ^H644

11 And we dreamed ^H2492 a dream ^H2472 in one ^H259 night, ^H3915 I ^H589 and he; ^H1931 we dreamed ^H2492 each man ^H376 according to the interpretation ^H6623 of his dream. ^H2472

12 And there was there ^H8033 with ^H854 us a young man, ^H5288 a Hebrew, ^H5680 servant ^H5650 to the captain ^H8269 of the guard; ^H2876 and we told ^H5608 him , and he interpreted ^H6622 to us ^H853 our dreams; ^H2472 to each man ^H376 according to his dream ^H2472 he did interpret. ^H6622

13 And it came to pass, ^H1961 as ^H834 he interpreted ^H6622 to us, so ^H3651 it was; ^H1961 me he restored ^H7725 unto ^H5921 mine office, ^H3653 and him he hanged. ^H8518

14 Then Pharaoh ^H6547 sent ^H7971 and called ^H7121 ^H853 Joseph, ^H3130 and they brought him hastily ^H7323 out of ^H4480 the dungeon: ^H953 and he shaved ^H1548 himself , and changed ^H2498 his raiment, ^H8071 and came in ^H935 unto ^H413 Pharaoh. ^H6547

15 And Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto ^H413 Joseph, ^H3130 I have dreamed ^H2492 a dream, ^H2472 and there is none ^H369 that can interpret ^H6622 it : and I ^H589 have heard ^H8085 say ^H559 of ^H5921 thee, that thou canst understand ^H8085 a dream ^H2472 to interpret ^H6622 it.

16 And Joseph ^H3130 answered ^H6030 ^H853 Pharaoh, ^H6547 saying, ^H559 It is not in ^H1107 me: God ^H430 shall give Pharaoh an answer ^H6030 ^H6547 of ^H853 peace. ^H7965

17 And Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H1696 unto ^H413 Joseph, ^H3130 In my dream, ^H2472 behold, ^H2009 I stood ^H5975 upon ^H5921 the bank ^H8193 of the river: ^H2975

18 And, behold, ^H2009 there came up ^H5927 out of ^H4480 the river ^H2975 seven ^H7651 kine, ^H6510 fatfleshed ^H1277 ^H1320 and well ^H3303 favored; ^H8389 and they fed ^H7462 in a meadow: ^H260

19 And, behold, ^H2009 seven ^H7651 other ^H312 kine ^H6510 came up ^H5927 after ^H310 them, poor ^H1800 and very ^H3966 ill ^H7451 favored ^H8389 and leanfleshed ^H7534 ^H1320 , such ^H2007 as I never ^H3808 saw ^H7200 in all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 for badness: ^H7455

20 And the lean ^H7534 and the ill favored ^H7451 kine ^H6510 did eat up ^H398 ^H853 the first ^H7223 seven ^H7651 fat ^H1277 kine: ^H6510

21 And when they had eaten them up ^H935 ^H413 ^H7130 , it could not ^H3808 be known ^H3045 that ^H3588 they had eaten ^H935 ^H413 ^H7130 them ; but they were still ill favored ^H4758 ^H7451 , as ^H834 at the beginning. ^H8462 So I awoke. ^H3364

22 And I saw ^H7200 in my dream, ^H2472 and, behold, ^H2009 seven ^H7651 ears ^H7641 came up ^H5927 in one ^H259 stalk, ^H7070 full ^H4392 and good: ^H2896

23 And, behold, ^H2009 seven ^H7651 ears, ^H7641 withered, ^H6798 thin, ^H1851 and blasted ^H7710 with the east wind, ^H6921 sprung up ^H6779 after ^H310 them:

24 And the thin ^H1851 ears ^H7641 devoured ^H1104 ^H853 the seven ^H7651 good ^H2896 ears: ^H7641 and I told ^H559 this unto ^H413 the magicians; ^H2748 but there was none ^H369 that could declare ^H5046 it to me.

25 And Joseph ^H3130 said ^H559 unto ^H413 Pharaoh, ^H6547 The dream ^H2472 of Pharaoh ^H6547 is one: ^H259 God ^H430 hath showed ^H5046 Pharaoh ^H6547 ^H853 what ^H834 he is about to do. ^H6213

26 The seven ^H7651 good ^H2896 kine ^H6510 are seven ^H7651 years; ^H8141 and the seven ^H7651 good ^H2896 ears ^H7641 are seven ^H7651 years: ^H8141 the dream ^H2472 is one. ^H259

27 And the seven ^H7651 thin ^H7534 and ill favored ^H7451 kine ^H6510 that came up ^H5927 after ^H310 them are seven ^H7651 years; ^H8141 and the seven ^H7651 empty ^H7386 ears ^H7641 blasted ^H7710 with the east wind ^H6921 shall be ^H1961 seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of famine. ^H7458

28 This ^H1931 is the thing ^H1697 which ^H834 I have spoken ^H1696 unto ^H413 Pharaoh: ^H6547 What ^H834 God ^H430 is about to do ^H6213 he showeth ^H7200 ^H853 unto Pharaoh. ^H6547

29 Behold ^H2009 , there come ^H935 seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of great ^H1419 plenty ^H7647 throughout all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt: ^H4714

30 And there shall arise ^H6965 after ^H310 them seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of famine; ^H7458 and all ^H3605 the plenty ^H7647 shall be forgotten ^H7911 in the land ^H776 of Egypt; ^H4714 and the famine ^H7458 shall consume ^H3615 ^H853 the land; ^H776

31 And the plenty ^H7647 shall not ^H3808 be known ^H3045 in the land ^H776 by reason of ^H4480 ^H6440 that ^H1931 famine ^H7458 following ^H310 ^H3651 ; for ^H3588 it ^H1931 shall be very ^H3966 grievous. ^H3515

32 And for ^H5921 that the dream ^H2472 was doubled ^H8138 unto ^H413 Pharaoh ^H6547 twice; ^H6471 it is because ^H3588 the thing ^H1697 is established ^H3559 by ^H4480 ^H5973 God, ^H430 and God ^H430 will shortly ^H4116 bring it to pass. ^H6213

33 Now ^H6258 therefore let Pharaoh ^H6547 look out ^H7200 a man ^H376 discreet ^H995 and wise, ^H2450 and set ^H7896 him over ^H5921 the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

34 Let Pharaoh ^H6547 do ^H6213 this , and let him appoint ^H6485 officers ^H6496 over ^H5921 the land, ^H776 and take up the fifth part ^H2567 of ^H853 the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 in the seven ^H7651 plenteous ^H7647 years. ^H8141

35 And let them gather ^H6908 ^H853 all ^H3605 the food ^H400 of those ^H428 good ^H2896 years ^H8141 that come, ^H935 and lay up ^H6651 corn ^H1250 under ^H8478 the hand ^H3027 of Pharaoh, ^H6547 and let them keep ^H8104 food ^H400 in the cities. ^H5892

36 And that food ^H400 shall be ^H1961 for store ^H6487 to the land ^H776 against the seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of famine, ^H7458 which ^H834 shall be ^H1961 in the land ^H776 of Egypt; ^H4714 that the land ^H776 perish ^H3772 not ^H3808 through the famine. ^H7458

37 And the thing ^H1697 was good ^H3190 in the eyes ^H5869 of Pharaoh, ^H6547 and in the eyes ^H5869 of all ^H3605 his servants. ^H5650

38 And Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto ^H413 his servants, ^H5650 Can we find ^H4672 such a one as this ^H2088 is , a man ^H376 in whom ^H834 the Spirit ^H7307 of God ^H430 is ?

39 And Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto ^H413 Joseph, ^H3130 Forasmuch ^H310 as God ^H430 hath showed ^H3045 thee ^H853 all ^H3605 this, ^H2063 there is none ^H369 so discreet ^H995 and wise ^H2450 as thou ^H3644 art :

40 Thou ^H859 shalt be ^H1961 over ^H5921 my house, ^H1004 and according unto ^H5921 thy word ^H6310 shall all ^H3605 my people ^H5971 be ruled: ^H5401 only ^H7535 in the throne ^H3678 will I be greater ^H1431 than ^H4480 thou.

41 And Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto ^H413 Joseph, ^H3130 See, ^H7200 I have set ^H5414 thee over ^H5921 all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

42 And Pharaoh ^H6547 took off ^H5493 ^H853 his ring ^H2885 from ^H4480 ^H5921 his hand, ^H3027 and put ^H5414 it upon ^H5921 Joseph's ^H3130 hand, ^H3027 and arrayed ^H3847 him in vestures ^H899 of fine linen, ^H8336 and put ^H7760 a gold ^H2091 chain ^H7242 about ^H5921 his neck; ^H6677

43 And he made him to ride ^H7392 in the second ^H4932 chariot ^H4818 which ^H834 he had ; and they cried ^H7121 before ^H6440 him , Bow the knee: ^H86 and he made ^H5414 him ruler over ^H5921 all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

44 And Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto ^H413 Joseph, ^H3130 I ^H589 am Pharaoh, ^H6547 and without ^H1107 thee shall no ^H3808 man ^H376 lift up ^H7311 ^H853 his hand ^H3027 or foot ^H7272 in all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

45 And Pharaoh ^H6547 called ^H7121 Joseph's ^H3130 name ^H8034 Zaphnath- ^H6847 paaneah ; and he gave ^H5414 him to wife ^H802 ^H853 Asenath ^H621 the daughter ^H1323 of Poti- ^H6319 pherah priest ^H3548 of On. ^H204 And Joseph ^H3130 went out ^H3318 over ^H5921 all the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

46 And Joseph ^H3130 was thirty ^H7970 years ^H8141 old ^H1121 when he stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 Pharaoh ^H6547 king ^H4428 of Egypt. ^H4714 And Joseph ^H3130 went out ^H3318 from the presence ^H4480 ^H6440 of Pharaoh, ^H6547 and went ^H5674 throughout all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

47 And in the seven ^H7651 plenteous ^H7647 years ^H8141 the earth ^H776 brought forth ^H6213 by handfuls. ^H7062

48 And he gathered up ^H6908 ^H853 all ^H3605 the food ^H400 of the seven ^H7651 years, ^H8141 which ^H834 were ^H1961 in the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 and laid up ^H5414 the food ^H400 in the cities: ^H5892 the food ^H400 of the field, ^H7704 which ^H834 was round about ^H5439 every city, ^H5892 laid he up ^H5414 in the same. ^H8432

49 And Joseph ^H3130 gathered ^H6651 corn ^H1250 as the sand ^H2344 of the sea, ^H3220 very ^H3966 much, ^H7235 until ^H5704 he left ^H2308 numbering; ^H5608 for ^H3588 it was without ^H369 number. ^H4557

50 And unto Joseph ^H3130 were born ^H3205 two ^H8147 sons ^H1121 before ^H2962 the years ^H8141 of famine ^H7458 came, ^H935 which ^H834 Asenath ^H621 the daughter ^H1323 of Poti- ^H6319 pherah priest ^H3548 of On ^H204 bore ^H3205 unto him.

51 And Joseph ^H3130 called ^H7121 ^H853 the name ^H8034 of the firstborn ^H1060 Manasseh: ^H4519 For ^H3588 God, ^H430 said he , hath made me forget ^H5382 ^H853 all ^H3605 my toil, ^H5999 and all ^H3605 my father's ^H1 house. ^H1004

52 And the name ^H8034 of the second ^H8145 called ^H7121 he Ephraim: ^H669 For ^H3588 God ^H430 hath caused me to be fruitful ^H6509 in the land ^H776 of my affliction. ^H6040

53 And the seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of plenteousness, ^H7647 that ^H834 was ^H1961 in the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 were ended. ^H3615

54 And the seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of dearth ^H7458 began ^H2490 to come, ^H935 according as ^H834 Joseph ^H3130 had said: ^H559 and the dearth ^H7458 was ^H1961 in all ^H3605 lands; ^H776 but in all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 there was ^H1961 bread. ^H3899

55 And when all ^H3605 the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 was famished, ^H7456 the people ^H5971 cried ^H6817 to ^H413 Pharaoh ^H6547 for bread: ^H3899 and Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto all ^H3605 the Egyptians, ^H4714 Go ^H1980 unto ^H413 Joseph; ^H3130 what ^H834 he saith ^H559 to you, do. ^H6213

56 And the famine ^H7458 was ^H1961 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 the face ^H6440 of the earth: ^H776 And Joseph ^H3130 opened ^H6605 ^H853 all ^H3605 the storehouses, ^H834 and sold ^H7666 unto the Egyptians; ^H4714 and the famine ^H7458 waxed sore ^H2388 in the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

57 And all ^H3605 countries ^H776 came ^H935 into Egypt ^H4714 to ^H413 Joseph ^H3130 for to buy ^H7666 corn ; because ^H3588 that the famine ^H7458 was so sore ^H2388 in all ^H3605 lands. ^H776
