¹ And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

² And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favored kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

³ And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favored and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

⁴ And the ill favored and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

⁵ And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

⁶ And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.

⁷ And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

⁸ And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

⁹ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

¹⁰ Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:

¹¹ And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹² And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.

¹³ And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.

¹⁶ And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

¹⁷ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

¹⁸ And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favored; and they fed in a meadow:

¹⁹ And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favored and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

²⁰ And the lean and the ill favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

²¹ And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

²² And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

²³ And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

²⁴ And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

²⁵ And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

²⁶ The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

²⁷ And the seven thin and ill favored kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

²⁸ This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh.

²⁹ Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

³⁰ And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

³¹ And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

³² And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

³³ Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

³⁵ And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

³⁶ And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

³⁷ And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

³⁸ And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

³⁹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

⁴⁰ Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

⁴¹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

⁴² And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

⁴³ And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁵ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁷ And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

⁴⁸ And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

⁴⁹ And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.

⁵⁰ And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.

⁵¹ And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

⁵² And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

⁵³ And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.

⁵⁴ And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁵ 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.

⁵⁶ And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁷ And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

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

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

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

⁴ And the ill ^H7451 favoured ^H4758 and leanfleshed ^{H1851 H1320} kine ^H6510 did eat up ^H398 the seven ^H7651 well ^H3303 favoured ^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, seven ^H7651 ears of corn ^H7641 came up ^H5927 upon one ^H259 stalk, ^H7070 rank ^H1277 and good. ^H2896

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

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

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

⁹ Then spake ^H1696 the chief ^H8269 butler ^H8248 unto Pharaoh, ^H6547 saying, ^H559 I do remember ^H2142 my faults ^H2399 this day: ^H3117

¹⁰ Pharaoh ^H6547 was wroth ^H7107 with 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 and he; we dreamed ^H2492 each man ^H376 according to the interpretation ^H6623 of his dream. ^H2472

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁹ And, behold, seven ^H7651 other ^H312 kine ^H6510 came up ^H5927 after them, ^H310 poor ^H1803 and very ^H3966 ill ^H7451 favoured ^H8389 and leanfleshed, ^{H7534 H1320} such ^H2007 as I never ^H3808 saw ^H7200 in all the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 for badness: ^H7455

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

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

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

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

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

²⁵ And Joseph ^H3130 said ^H559 unto Pharaoh, ^H6547 The dream ^H2472 of Pharaoh ^H6547 is one: ^H259 God ^H430 hath shewed ^H5046 Pharaoh ^H6547 what 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 favoured ^H7451 kine ^H6510 that came up ^H5927 after them ^H310 are seven ^H7651 years; ^H8141 and the seven ^H7651 empty ^H7386 ears ^H7641 blasted ^H7710 with the east wind ^H6921 shall be seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of famine. ^H7458

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁶ And that food ^H400 shall be for store ^H6487 to the land ^H776 against the seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 of famine, ^H7458 which shall be in the land ^H776 of Egypt; ^H4714 that the land ^H776 perish ^H3772 not 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 his servants. ^H5650

³⁸ And Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto 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 Joseph, ^H3130 Forasmuch ^H310 as God ^H430 hath shewed ^H3045 thee all this, there is none so discreet ^H995 and wise ^H2450 as thou art:

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

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

⁴² And Pharaoh ^H6547 took off ^H5493 his ring ^H2885 from his hand, ^H3027 and put ^H5414 it upon 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 his neck; ^H6677

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

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

⁴⁵ And Pharaoh ^H6547 called ^H7121 Joseph's ^H3130 name ^H8034 Zaphnathpaaneah; ^H6847 and he gave ^H5414 him to wife ^H802 Asenath ^H621 the daughter ^H1323 of Potipherah ^H6319 priest ^H3548 of On. ^H204 And Joseph ^H3130 went out ^H3318 over 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 ^H6440 of Pharaoh, ^H6547 and went throughout ^H5674 all 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 all the food ^H400 of the seven ^H7651 years, ^H8141 which were 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 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 he left ^H2308 numbering; ^H5608 for it was without ^H369 number. ^H4557

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

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

⁵² And the name ^H8034 of the second ^H8145 called ^H7121 he Ephraim: ^H669 For 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 was 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 Joseph ^H3130 had said: ^H559 and the dearth ^H7458 was in all lands; ^H776 but in all the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 there was bread. ^H3899

⁵⁵ And when all the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 was famished, ^H7456 the people ^H5971 cried ^H6817 to Pharaoh ^H6547 for bread: ^H3899 and Pharaoh ^H6547 said ^H559 unto all the Egyptians, ^H4714 Go ^H3212 unto Joseph; ^H3130 what he saith ^H559 to you, do. ^H6213

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

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

¹ And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

² And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favored and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.

³ And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

⁴ And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

⁵ And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

⁶ And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

⁷ And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

⁸ And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

⁹ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

¹⁰ Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker:

¹¹ and we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹² And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.

¹³ And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it.

¹⁶ And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

¹⁷ And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:

¹⁸ and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored: and they fed in the reed-grass:

¹⁹ and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

²⁰ and the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

²¹ and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

²² And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good:

²³ and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, `and' blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

²⁴ and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

²⁵ And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh.

²⁶ The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

²⁷ And the seven lean and ill-favored kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.

²⁸ That is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath showed unto Pharaoh.

²⁹ Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

³⁰ and there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

³¹ and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.

³² And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

³³ Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do `this', and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

³⁵ And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

³⁶ And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

³⁷ And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

³⁸ And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?

³⁹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou:

⁴⁰ thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

⁴¹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

⁴² And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

⁴³ and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁵ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁷ And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

⁴⁸ And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

⁴⁹ And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering; for it was without number.

⁵⁰ And unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bare unto him.

⁵¹ And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For, `said he', God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

⁵² And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.

⁵³ And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

⁵⁴ And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁵ 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.

⁵⁶ And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁷ And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was sore in all the earth.

¹ And it cometh to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and lo, he is standing by the River,

² and lo, from the River coming up are seven kine, of fair appearance, and fat `in' flesh, and they feed among the reeds;

³ and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them out of the River, of bad appearance, and lean `in' flesh, and they stand near the kine on the edge of the River,

⁴ and the kine of bad appearance and lean `in' flesh eat up the seven kine of fair appearance, and fat -- and Pharaoh awaketh.

⁵ And he sleepeth, and dreameth a second time, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,

⁶ and lo, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;

⁷ and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears -- and Pharaoh awaketh, and lo, a dream.

⁸ And it cometh to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sendeth and calleth all the scribes of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounteth to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.

⁹ And the chief of the butlers speaketh with Pharaoh, saying, `My sin I mention this day:

¹⁰ Pharaoh hath been wroth against his servants, and giveth me into charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers;

¹¹ and we dream a dream in one night, I and he, each according to the interpretation of his dream we have dreamed.

¹² And there `is' with us a youth, a Hebrew, servant to the chief of the executioners, and we recount to him, and he interpreteth to us our dreams, `to' each according to his dream hath he interpreted,

¹³ and it cometh to pass, as he hath interpreted to us so it hath been, me he put back on my station, and him he hanged.'

¹⁴ And Pharaoh sendeth and calleth Joseph, and they cause him to run out of the pit, and he shaveth, and changeth his garments, and cometh in unto Pharaoh.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `A dream I have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it, and I -- I have heard concerning thee, saying, Thou understandest a dream to interpret it,'

¹⁶ and Joseph answereth Pharaoh, saying, `Without me -- God doth answer Pharaoh with peace.'

¹⁷ And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph: `In my dream, lo, I am standing by the edge of the River,

¹⁸ and lo, out of the River coming up are seven kine, fat `in' flesh, and of fair form, and they feed among the reeds;

¹⁹ and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them, thin, and of very bad form, and lean `in' flesh; I have not seen like these in all the land of Egypt for badness.

²⁰ `And the lean and the bad kine eat up the first seven fat kine,

²¹ and they come in unto their midst, and it hath not been known that they have come in unto their midst, and their appearance `is' bad as at the commencement; and I awake.

²² `And I see in my dream, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;

²³ and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;

²⁴ and the thin ears swallow the seven good ears; and I tell unto the scribes, and there is none declaring to me.'

²⁵ And Joseph saith unto Pharaoh, `The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he hath declared to Pharaoh;

²⁶ the seven good kine are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one;

²⁷ and the seven thin and bad kine which are coming up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an east wind, are seven years of famine;

²⁸ this `is' the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: That which God is doing, he hath shewn Pharaoh.

²⁹ `Lo, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt,

³⁰ and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine hath finished the land,

³¹ and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterwards, for it `is' very grievous.

³² `And because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hastening to do it.

³³ `And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;

³⁴ let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,

³⁵ and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh -- food in the cities; and they have kept `it',

³⁶ and the food hath been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.'

³⁷ And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,

³⁸ and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God `is'?'

³⁹ and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God's causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;

⁴⁰ thou -- thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.'

⁴¹ And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `See, I have put thee over all the land of Egypt.'

⁴² And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him `with' garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,

⁴³ and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he hath, and they proclaim before him, `Bow the knee!' and -- to put him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I `am' Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;'

⁴⁵ and Pharaoh calleth Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ And Joseph `is' a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of Egypt;

⁴⁷ and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.

⁴⁸ And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which `is' round about `each' city hath he put in its midst;

⁴⁹ and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is no number.

⁵⁰ And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him,

⁵¹ and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;'

⁵² and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: `for, God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction.'

⁵³ And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,

⁵⁴ and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread;

⁵⁵ and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people crieth unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh saith to all the Egyptians, `Go unto Joseph; that which he saith to you -- do.'

⁵⁶ And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and Joseph openeth all `places' which have `corn' in them, and selleth to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land of Egypt,

⁵⁷ and all the earth hath come to Egypt, to buy, unto Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.

¹ And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.

² And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.

³ And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river.

⁴ And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.

⁵ And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good.

⁶ And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them.

⁷ And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream.

⁸ And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.

⁹ Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.

¹⁰ Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.

¹¹ And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹² And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.

¹³ And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved [himself], and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.

¹⁶ And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

¹⁷ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.

¹⁸ And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.

¹⁹ And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed -- such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.

²⁰ And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;

²¹ and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

²² And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.

²³ And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;

²⁴ and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.

²⁵ And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.

²⁶ The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

²⁷ And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine.

²⁸ This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.

²⁹ Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.

³⁰ And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.

³¹ And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.

³² And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.

³³ And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty,

³⁵ and let them gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep [it].

³⁶ And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.

³⁷ And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.

³⁸ And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find [one] as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

³⁹ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has made all this known to thee, there is none [so] discreet and wise as thou.

⁴⁰ Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.

⁴¹ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

⁴² And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in clothes of byssus, and put a gold chain on his neck.

⁴³ And he caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! and he set him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁵ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.

⁴⁷ And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.

⁴⁸ And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were round about it, he laid up in it.

⁴⁹ And Joseph laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.

⁵⁰ And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On bore to him.

⁵¹ And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh -- For God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

⁵² And the name of the second he called Ephraim -- For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

⁵³ And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;

⁵⁴ and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁵ And all the land of Egypt suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.

⁵⁶ And the famine was on all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was [provision], and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁷ And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.

¹ It happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

² Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, well-favored and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.

³ Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

⁴ The ill-favored and lean-fleshed cattle ate up the seven well-favored and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

⁵ He slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

⁶ Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

⁷ The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

⁸ It happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it. Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

⁹ Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.

¹⁰ Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

¹¹ We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹² There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. To each man according to his dream he interpreted.

¹³ It happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was: he restored me to my office, and he hanged him."

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

¹⁵ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

¹⁶ Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

¹⁷ Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:

¹⁸ and, behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat-fleshed and well-favored. They fed in the reed-grass,

¹⁹ and, behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

²⁰ The lean and ill-favored cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,

²¹ and when they had eaten them up, it couldn't be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

²² I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:

²³ and, behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

²⁴ The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians; but there was no one who could explain it to me."

²⁵ Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

²⁶ The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

²⁷ The seven lean and ill-favored cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

²⁸ That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

²⁹ Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

³⁰ There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

³¹ and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

³² The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

³³ Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt's produce in the seven plenteous years.

³⁵ Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

³⁶ The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish through the famine."

³⁷ The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

³⁸ Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"

³⁹ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you.

⁴⁰ You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you."

⁴¹ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

⁴² Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck,

⁴³ and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, "Bow the knee!" He set him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."

⁴⁵ Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁷ In the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly.

⁴⁸ He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same.

⁴⁹ Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

⁵⁰ To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

⁵¹ Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh,{"Manasseh" sounds like the Hebrew for "forget."} "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."

⁵² The name of the second, he called Ephraim{"Ephraim" sounds like the Hebrew for "twice fruitful."}: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

⁵³ The seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

⁵⁴ The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁵ When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."

⁵⁶ The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁷ All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

---

¹ Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;

² And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.

³ And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.

⁴ And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.

⁵ But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.

⁶ And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.

⁷ And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.

⁸ And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.

⁹ Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;

¹⁰ Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;

¹¹ And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.

¹² And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.

¹³ And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.

¹⁶ Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.

¹⁷ Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile:

¹⁸ And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;

¹⁹ Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;

²⁰ And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;

²¹ And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.

²² And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:

²³ And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:

²⁴ And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.

²⁵ Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

²⁶ The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.

²⁷ The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food.

²⁸ As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.

²⁹ Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;

³⁰ And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;

³¹ And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.

³² And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

³³ And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.

³⁵ And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.

³⁶ And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.

³⁷ And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

³⁸ Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

³⁹ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense as you:

⁴⁰ You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.

⁴¹ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.

⁴² Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck;

⁴³ And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁵ And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ Now Joseph was thirty years old when he came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁷ Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.

⁴⁸ And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.

⁴⁹ So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.

⁵⁰ And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.

⁵¹ And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.

⁵² And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.

⁵³ And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.

⁵⁴ Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁵ And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.

⁵⁶ And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁷ And all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth.
