41Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.H7093H3117H8141H6547H2492H5975H2975 2And lo, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and fat; and they grazed in the marsh grass.H5927H2975H7651H3303H4758H6510H1277H1320H7462H260 3Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood by the [other] cows on the bank of the Nile.H7651H312H6510H5927H310H2975H7451H4758H1851H1320H5975H681H6510H8193H2975 4And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.H7451H4758H1851H1320H6510H398H7651H3303H4758H1277H6510H6547H3364 5And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.H3462H2492H8145H7651H7641H5927H259H7070H1277H2896 6Then behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.H7651H1851H7641H7710H6921H6779H310 7And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, [it was] a dream.H1851H7641H1104H7651H1277H4392H7641H6547H3364H2472 8Now it came about in the morning that his spirit was troubled, so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.H1242H7307H6470H7971H7121H2748H4714H2450H6547H5608H2472H6622H6547 9Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I would make mention today of my [own] offenses.H1696H8269H8248H6547H559H2142H2399H3117 10"Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, [both] me and the chief baker.H6547H7107H5650H5414H4929H8269H2876H1004H8269H644 11"And we had a dream on the same night, he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his [own] dream.H2492H2472H259H3915H2492H376H6623H2472 12"Now a Hebrew youth [was] with us there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we related [them] to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according to his [own] dream.H5288H5680H5650H8269H2876H5608H6622H2472H376H2472H6622 13"And it came about that just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my office, but he hanged him."H6622H7725H3653H8518 14Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh.H6547H7971H7121H3130H7323H953H1548H2498H8071H935H6547 15And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard it said about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."H6547H559H3130H2492H2472H6622H8085H559H8085H2472H6622 16Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."H3130H6030H6547H559H1107H430H6030H6547H6030H7965 17So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile;H6547H1696H3130H2472H5975H8193H2975 18and behold, seven cows, fat and sleek came up out of the Nile; and they grazed in the marsh grass.H5927H2975H7651H6510H1277H1320H3303H8389H7462H260 19"And lo, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such as I had never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt;H7651H312H6510H5927H310H1803H3966H7451H8389H7534H1320H2007H3808H7200H776H4714H7455 20and the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows.H7534H7451H6510H398H7223H7651H1277H6510 21"Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them; for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.H935H7130H3045H935H7130H4758H7451H8462H3364 22"I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk;H7200H2472H7651H7641H5927H259H7070H4392H2896 23and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them;H7651H7641H6798H1851H7710H6921H6779H310 24and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me. "H1851H7641H1104H7651H2896H7641H559H2748H5046 25Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dreams are one [and the same;] God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do.H3130H559H6547H2472H6547H259H430H5046H6547H6213 26"The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one [and the same.]H7651H2896H6510H7651H8141H7651H2896H7641H7651H8141H2472H259 27"And the seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind shall be seven years of famine.H7651H7534H7451H6510H5927H310H7651H8141H7651H7386H7641H7710H6921H7651H8141H7458 28"It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown to Pharaoh what He is about to do.H1697H1696H6547H430H6213H7200H6547 29"Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt;H935H7651H8141H1419H7647H776H4714 30and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will ravage the land.H6965H310H7651H8141H7458H7647H7911H776H4714H7458H3615H776 31"So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it [will be] very severe.H7647H3045H776H6440H7458H310H3651H3966H3515 32"Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, [it means] that the matter is determined by God, and God will quickly bring it about.H2472H8138H6547H6471H1697H3559H5973H430H430H4116H6213 33"And now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.H6547H7200H376H995H2450H7896H776H4714 34"Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers in charge of the land, and let him exact a fifth [of the produce] of the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.H6547H6213H6485H6496H776H2567H776H4714H7651H7647H8141 35"Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh's authority, and let them guard [it.]H6908H400H2896H8141H935H6651H1250H3027H6547H8104H400H5892 36"And let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish during the famine."H400H6487H776H7651H8141H7458H776H4714H776H3772H7458 37Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.H1697H3190H5869H6547H5869H5650 38Then Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?"H6547H559H5650H4672H2088H376H834H7307H430 39So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.H6547H559H3130H310H430H3045H995H2450 40"You shall be over my house, and according to your command all my people shall do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you."H1961H1004H6310H5971H5401H3678H1431 41And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See I have set you over all the land of Egypt."H6547H559H3130H7200H5414H776H4714 42Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the gold necklace around his neck.H6547H5493H2885H3027H5414H3130H3027H3847H899H8336H7760H2091H7242H6677 43And he had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, "Bow the knee!" And he set him over all the land of Egypt.H7392H4932H4818H7121H6440H86H5414H776H4714 44Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, "[Though] I am Pharaoh, yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."H6547H559H3130H6547H1107H376H7311H3027H7272H776H4714 45Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.H6547H7121H3130H8034H6847H5414H802H621H1323H6319H3548H204H3130H3318H776H4714 46Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.H3130H7970H8141H1121H5975H6440H6547H4428H4714H3130H3318H6440H6547H5674H776H4714 47And during the seven years of plenty the land brought forth abundantly.H7651H7647H8141H776H6213H7062 48So he gathered all the food of [these] seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt, and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields.H6908H400H7651H8141H776H4714H5414H400H5892H400H7704H5439H5892H5414H8432 49Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring [it,] for it was beyond measure.H3130H6651H1250H2344H3220H3966H7235H2308H5608H369H4557 50Now before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.H3130H3205H8147H1121H8141H7458H935H621H1323H6319H3548H204H3205 51And Joseph named the first-born Manasseh, "For," [he said,] "God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."H3130H7121H8034H1060H4519H430H5382H5999H1H1004 52And he named the second Ephraim, "For," [he said,] "God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."H8034H8145H7121H669H430H6509H776H6040 53When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end,H7651H8141H7647H776H4714H3615 54and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.H7651H8141H7458H2490H935H3130H559H7458H776H776H4714H3899 55So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, you shall do."H776H4714H7456H5971H6817H6547H3899H6547H559H4714H3212H3130H559H6213 56When the famine was [spread] over all the face of the earth, then Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.H7458H6440H776H3130H6605H7666H4714H7458H2388H776H4714 57And [the people of] all the earth came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.H776H935H4714H3130H7666H7458H2388H776
