And it came to pass at the end
of two full
years,
that Pharaoh
dreamed:
and, behold, he stood
by the river.
And, behold, there came up
out of the river
seven
well
favoured
kine
and fatfleshed;
and they fed
in a meadow.
And, behold, seven
other
kine
came up
after them
out of the river,
ill
favoured
and leanfleshed;
and stood
by
the other kine
upon the brink
of the river.

And the ill

and leanfleshed

did eat up
the seven
well
favoured
and fat
kine.
So Pharaoh
awoke.
And he slept
and dreamed
the second time:
and, behold, seven
ears of corn
came up
upon one
stalk,
rank
and good.
And, behold, seven
thin
ears
and blasted
with the east wind
sprung up
after them.
And the seven thin
ears
devoured
the seven
rank
and full
ears.
And Pharaoh
awoke,
and, behold, it was a dream.

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.

Then spake
the chief
butler
unto Pharaoh,
saying,
I do remember
my faults
this day:
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:
And we dreamed
a dream
in one
night,
I and he; we dreamed
each man
according to the interpretation
of his dream.
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.
And it came to pass, as he interpreted
to us, so it was; me he restored
unto mine office,
and him he hanged.
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.
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.

And Joseph
answered
Pharaoh,
saying,
It is not in me:
God
shall give
Pharaoh
an answer
of peace.
And Pharaoh
said
unto Joseph,
In my dream,
behold, I stood
upon the bank
of the river:
And, behold, there came up
out of the river
seven
kine,
fatfleshed
and well
favoured;
and they fed
in a meadow:
And, behold, seven
other
kine
came up
after them,
poor
and very
ill
favoured
and leanfleshed,
such
as I never
saw
in all the land
of Egypt
for badness:
thin

And the lean
and the ill favoured
kine
did eat up
the first
seven
fat
kine:
And when they had eaten them up,
it could not be known
that they had eaten them;
but they were still
ill favoured,
as at the beginning.
So I awoke.

And I saw
in my dream,
and, behold, seven
ears
came up
in one
stalk,
full
and good:
And, behold, seven
ears,
withered,
thin,
and blasted
with the east wind,
sprung up
after them:
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.

And Joseph
said
unto Pharaoh,
The dream
of Pharaoh
is one:
God
hath shewed
Pharaoh
what he is about to do.
The seven
good
kine
are seven
years;
and the seven
good
ears
are seven
years:
the dream
is one.
And the seven
thin
and ill favoured
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.

This is the thing
which I have spoken
unto Pharaoh:
What God
is about to do
he sheweth
unto Pharaoh.
Behold, there come
seven
years
of great
plenty
throughout all the land
of Egypt:
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;
And the plenty
shall not be known
in the land
by reason
of that famine
following;
for it shall be very
grievous.
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.

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

And let them gather

and let them keep

And that food
shall be for store

that the land
perish
not through the famine.

And the thing
was good
in the eyes
of Pharaoh,
and in the eyes
of all his servants.
And Pharaoh
said
unto his servants,
Can we find
such a one as this
is, a man
in whom
the Spirit
of God
is?
And Pharaoh
said
unto Joseph,
Forasmuch
as God
hath shewed
thee all this, there is none so discreet
and wise
as thou art:
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.
And Pharaoh
said
unto Joseph,
See,
I have set
thee over all the land
of Egypt.
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

And he made him to ride
in the second

which he had; and they cried
before him,
Bow the knee:
and he made
him ruler over all the land
of Egypt.
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.
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.

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

And Joseph
gathered

until he left

And unto Joseph
were born
two

the daughter

bare

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.
And the name
of the second
called
he Ephraim:
For God
hath caused me to be fruitful
in the land
of my affliction.
And the seven
years
of plenteousness,
that was in the land
of Egypt,
were ended.
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.

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.

And the famine

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