< Genesis 41 >

1 And it was from [the] end of two years days and Pharaoh [was] dreaming and there! [he was] standing at the River. 2 And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows good looking of appearance and fat of flesh and they grazed among the reed[s]. 3 And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them from the River displeasing of appearance and thin of flesh and they stood beside the cows on [the] bank of the River. 4 And they ate the cows displeasing of appearance and [the] thin of flesh seven the cows good looking of appearance and fat and he awoke Pharaoh. 5 And he slept and he dreamed a second [time] and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one fat and good. 6 And there! seven ears of grain thin and scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them. 7 And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain fat and full and he awoke Pharaoh and there! a dream. 8 And it was in the morning and it was troubled spirit his and he sent and he summoned all [the] diviner priests of Egypt and all wise [men] its and he recounted Pharaoh to them dream his and there not [was one who] interpreted them for Pharaoh. 9 And he spoke [the] chief of the cup bearers with Pharaoh saying sins my I [am] bringing to remembrance this day. 10 Pharaoh he was angry towards servants his and he put me in [the] custody of [the] house of [the] commander of the bodyguards me and [the] chief of the bakers. 11 And we dreamed! a dream in a night one I and he each according to [the] interpretation of dream his we dreamed. 12 And [was] there with us a young man a Hebrew a slave of [the] commander of the bodyguards and we recounted to him and he interpreted for us dreams our each according to dream his he interpreted. 13 And it was just as he interpreted for us so it was me he restored to office my and him he hanged. 14 And he sent Pharaoh and he summoned Joseph and people brought quickly him from the pit and he shaved and he changed clothes his and he came to Pharaoh. 15 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph a dream I have dreamed and [is one who] interprets there not it and I I have heard on you saying you hear a dream to interpret it. 16 And he answered Joseph Pharaoh saying apart from me God he will answer [the] welfare of Pharaoh. 17 And he spoke Pharaoh to Joseph in dream my if [was] I standing on [the] bank of the River. 18 And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows fat of flesh and good looking of form and they grazed among the reed[s]. 19 And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them weak and displeasing of form very and thin of flesh not I have seen like them in all [the] land of Egypt to badness. 20 And they ate the cows thin and displeasing seven the cows former fat. 21 And they went into inward part[s] their and not it was known that they had gone into inward part[s] their and appearance their [was] displeasing just as at the beginning and I awoke. 22 And I saw in dream my and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one full and good. 23 And there! seven ears of grain withered thin scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them. 24 And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain good and I said to the diviner priests and there not [was one who] told to me. 25 And he said Joseph to Pharaoh [the] dream of Pharaoh [is] one it [that] which God [is] about to do he has told to Pharaoh. 26 Seven cows good [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain good [are] seven years they [is] dream one it. 27 And seven the cows thin and displeasing that were coming up after them [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain empty scorched of the east wind they will be seven years of famine. 28 That [is] the word which I spoke to Pharaoh [that] which God [is] about to do he has shown Pharaoh. 29 There! seven years [are] about to come plenty great [will be] in all [the] land of Egypt. 30 And they will arise seven years of famine after them and it will be forgotten all the plenty in [the] land of Egypt and it will destroy the famine the land. 31 And not it will be known the plenty in the land because of the famine that after thus for [will be] heavy it very. 32 And on [the] being repeated of the dream to Pharaoh two times for [is] certain the matter from with God and [is] hurrying God to do it. 33 And therefore let him see Pharaoh a man discerning and wise and let him set him over [the] land of Egypt. 34 Let him act Pharaoh and let him appoint overseers over the land and he will take a fifth of [the] land of Egypt in seven [the] years of plenty. 35 And let them gather all [the] food of the years good that are coming these and let them store up grain under [the] hand of Pharaoh food in the cities and they will keep [it]. 36 And it will become the food a store for the land for seven [the] years of famine which they will be in [the] land of Egypt and not it will be cut off the land by the famine. 37 And it was good the word in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of all servants his. 38 And he said Pharaoh to servants his ¿ has he been found like this one a man whom [the] spirit of God [is] in him. 39 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph after has made know God you all this there not [is] a discerning [person] and a wise [person] like you. 40 You you will be over house my and on mouth your it will kiss all people my only the throne I will be great more than you. 41 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph see I set you over all [the] land of Egypt. 42 And he removed Pharaoh signet-ring his from on hand his and he set it on [the] hand of Joseph and he clothed him clothes of fine linen and he put [the] chain of gold on neck his. 43 And he made ride him in [the] chariot of the second which [belonged] to him and they called out before him bend [the] knee and he put him over all [the] land of Egypt. 44 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph I [am] Pharaoh and apart from you not he will lift up anyone hand his and foot his in all [the] land of Egypt. 45 And he called Pharaoh [the] name of Joseph Zaphenath-Paneah and he gave to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On to a wife and he went out Joseph over [the] land of Egypt. 46 And Joseph [was] a son of thirty year[s] when stood he before Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he went out Joseph from to before Pharaoh and he passed in all [the] land of Egypt. 47 And it produced the land in seven [the] years of plenty to handfuls. 48 And he gathered all [the] food of - seven [the] years which they were in [the] land of Egypt and he put food in the cities [the] food of [the] field[s] of the city which [was] around it he put in [the] midst of it. 49 And he stored up Joseph grain like [the] sand of the sea much very until that he ceased to measure [it] for there not [was] a measure. 50 And to Joseph it was born two sons before it came [the] year of famine whom she bore to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On. 51 And he called Joseph [the] name of the firstborn Manasseh for he has made forget me God all trouble my and all [the] household of father my. 52 And [the] name of the second he called Ephraim for he has made fruitful me God in [the] land of affliction my. 53 And they came to an end seven [the] years of plenty which it was in [the] land of Egypt. 54 And they began seven [the] years of famine to come just as he had said Joseph and it was a famine in all the lands and in all [the] land of Egypt it was food. 55 And it was hungry all [the] land of Egypt and it cried out the people to Pharaoh for food and he said Pharaoh to all Egypt go to Joseph [that] which he will say to you you will do. 56 And the famine it was over all [the] face of the land and he opened Joseph all that [was] in them and he bought grain to Egypt and it was severe the famine in [the] land of Egypt. 57 And all the earth they came Egypt towards to buy grain to Joseph for it was severe the famine in all the earth.
