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
Now G1161 there came G2064 a dearth G3042 over G1909 all G3650 the land G1093 of Egypt G125 and G2532 Chanaan, G5477 and G2532 great G3173 affliction: G2347 and G2532 our G2257 fathers G3962 found G2147 no G3756 sustenance. G5527
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
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 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
And, behold, seven H7651 thin H1851 ears H7641 and blasted H7710 with the east wind H6921 sprung up H6779 after them. H310 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
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
And he said, H559 Behold, I have heard H8085 that there is H3426 corn H7668 in Egypt: H4714 get you down H3381 thither, and buy H7666 for us from thence; that we may live, H2421 and not die. H4191
And the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 came H935 to buy H7666 corn among H8432 those that came: H935 for the famine H7458 was in the land H776 of Canaan. H3667 And Joseph H3130 was the governor H7989 over the land, H776 and he it was that sold H7666 to all the people H5971 of the land: H776 and Joseph's H3130 brethren H251 came, H935 and bowed down H7812 themselves before him with their faces H639 to the earth.
