Genesis 41

Pharaoh's Dream

1

Now it happenedh1961 at the endh7093 of two fullh3117 yearsh8141 that Pharaohh6547 hadh2492b a dreamh2492b, and beholdh2009, he was standingh5975 by the Nileh2975.

2

And loh2009, from the Nileh2975 there cameh5927 up sevenh7651 cowsh6510, sleekh3303 and  1fath1277; and they grazedh7462a in the  amarshh260 grassh260.

3

Then beholdh2009, sevenh7651 otherh312 cowsh6510 cameh5927 up afterh310 them from the Nileh2975, uglyh7451a and  1gaunth1851h1320, and they stoodh5975 by the other cowsh6510 on the bankh8193 of the Nileh2975.

4

The uglyh7451a and  1gaunth1851h1320 cowsh6510 ateh398 up the sevenh7651 sleekh3303 and fath1277 cowsh6510. Then Pharaohh6547 awokeh3364.

5

He fellh3462 asleeph3462 and dreamedh2492b a secondh8145 timeh8145; and beholdh2009, sevenh7651 earsh7641 of grainh7641 cameh5927 up on a singleh259 stalkh7070, plumph1277 and goodh2896a.

6

Then beholdh2009, sevenh7651 earsh7641, thinh1851 and scorchedh7710 by the easth6921 windh6921, sproutedh6779 up afterh310 them.

7

The thinh1851 earsh7641 swallowedh1104 up the sevenh7651 plumph1277 and fullh4392 earsh7641. Then Pharaohh6547 awokeh3364, and beholdh2009, it was a dreamh2472.

8

Now in the morningh1242  ahis spirith7307 was troubledh6470, so he senth7971 and calledh7121 for allh3605 the  1 bmagiciansh2748 of Egypth4714, and allh3605 its  cwiseh2450 menh2450. And Pharaohh6547 toldh5608 them his  2dreamsh2472, but  dthereh369 was noh369 oneh369 who could interpreth6622 them to Pharaohh6547.

9

Then the chiefh8269 cupbearerh4945a spokeh1696 to Pharaohh6547, sayingh559, "I would make mentionh2142 todayh3117 of  amy own  1offensesh2399.

10

"Pharaohh6547 was  afurioush7107 with his servantsh5650, and  bhe puth5414 me in confinementh4929 in the househ1004 of the captainh8269 of the bodyguardh2876, both me and the chiefh8269 bakerh644.

11

aWe hadh2492b a dreamh2472  1on the sameh259 nighth3915,  2he and I; eachh376 of us dreamedh2492b according to the interpretationh6623 of his own dreamh2472.

12

"Now a Hebrewh5680 youthh5288 was with us thereh8033, a  aservanth5650 of the captainh8269 of the bodyguardh2876, and we relatedh5608 them to him, and  bhe interpretedh6622 our dreamsh2472 for us. To eachh376 oneh376 he interpretedh6622 according to his own dreamh2472.

13

"And justh3512c  aas he interpretedh6622 for us, soh3651 it happenedh1961; he restoredh7725 me in my  1officeh3653b, but he hangedh8518 him."

Joseph Interprets

14

Then Pharaohh6547 senth7971 and  acalledh7121 for Josephh3130, and they  bhurriedlyh7323 broughth7323 him out of the dungeonh953a; and when he had shavedh1548 himself and changedh2498 his clothesh8071, he cameh935 to Pharaohh6547.

15

Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to Josephh3130, "I have hadh2492b a dreamh2472,  abut noh369 oneh369 can interpreth6622 it; and  bI have heardh8085  1it saidh559 abouth5921 you, that  2when you hearh8085 a dreamh2472 you can interpreth6622 it."

16

Josephh3130 then answeredh6030a Pharaohh6547, sayingh559, " 1 aIt is not in me;  bGodh430 will  2giveh6030a Pharaohh6547 a favorableh7965 answerh6030a."

17

So Pharaohh6547 spokeh1696 to Josephh3130, "In my dreamh2472, beholdh2009, I was standingh5975 on the bankh8193 of the Nileh2975;

18

and beholdh2009, sevenh7651 cowsh6510,  1fath1277 and sleekh3303 cameh5927 up out of the Nileh2975, and they grazedh7462a in the marshh260 grassh260.

19

"Loh2009, sevenh7651 otherh312 cowsh6510 cameh5927 up afterh310 them, poorh1800b and veryh3966 uglyh7451a and  1gaunth7534h1320, suchh2007 as I had neverh3808 seenh7200 for  2uglinessh7455 in allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714;

20

and the leanh7534 and  1uglyh7451a cowsh6510 ateh398 up the firsth7223 sevenh7651 fath1277 cowsh6510.

21

"Yet when they had  1devouredh935h7130 them, it could not be  2detectedh3045 that they had  1devouredh935h7130 them,  3for they were justh3512c as uglyh7451a as  4beforeh8462. Then I awokeh3364.

22

"I sawh7200 also in my dreamh2472, and beholdh2009, sevenh7651 earsh7641, fullh4392 and goodh2896a, cameh5927 up on a singleh259 stalkh7070;

23

and loh2009, sevenh7651 earsh7641, witheredh6798, thinh1851, and scorchedh7710 by the easth6921 windh6921, sproutedh6779 up afterh310 them;

24

and the thinh1851 earsh7641 swallowedh1104 the sevenh7651 goodh2896a earsh7641. Then  aI toldh559 it to the  1magiciansh2748, but thereh369 was noh369 oneh369 who could explainh5046 it to me."

25

Now Josephh3130 saidh559 to Pharaohh6547, "Pharaoh'sh6547  1dreamsh2472 are oneh259 and the same;  aGodh430 has toldh5046 to Pharaohh6547 whath853h834 He is about to doh6213a.

26

"The sevenh7651 goodh2896a cowsh6510 are sevenh7651 yearsh8141; and the sevenh7651 goodh2896a earsh7641 are sevenh7651 yearsh8141; the  1dreamsh2472 are oneh259 and the same.

27

"The sevenh7651 leanh7534 and uglyh7451a cowsh6510 that cameh5927 up afterh310 them are sevenh7651 yearsh8141, and the sevenh7651 thinh7534 earsh7641 scorchedh7710 by the easth6921 windh6921  awill be sevenh7651 yearsh8141 of famineh7458.

28

1It is as I have spokenh1696 to Pharaohh6547:  aGodh430 has shownh7200 to Pharaohh6547 whath834 He is about to doh6213a.

29

"Beholdh2009,  asevenh7651 yearsh8141 of greath1419 abundanceh7647 are comingh935 in allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714;

30

and afterh310 them  asevenh7651 yearsh8141 of famineh7458 will  1comeh6965, and allh3605 the abundanceh7647 will be forgottenh7911 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, and the famineh7458 will  2ravageh3615 the landh776.

31

"So the abundanceh7647 will be unknownh3045h3808 in the landh776 becauseh4480h6440 of that subsequenth310 famineh7458; for it will be veryh3966 severeh3515.

32

"Now as for the repeatingh8138 of the dreamh2472 to Pharaohh6547 twiceh6471, it means that  athe matterh1697 is determinedh3559 by Godh430, and Godh430 will quicklyh4116 bringh6213a it abouth6213a.

33

"Nowh6258 let Pharaohh6547 lookh7200 for a manh376  adiscerningh995 and wiseh2450, and seth7896 him overh5921 the landh776 of Egypth4714.

34

"Let Pharaohh6547 takeh6213a actionh6213a to appointh6485 overseersh6496  1in chargeh5921 of the landh776, and let him exacth2567 a fifthh2567 of the produce of the landh776 of Egypth4714 in the sevenh7651 yearsh8141 of abundanceh7647.

35

"Then let them  agatherh6908 allh3605 the foodh3978 of theseh428 goodh2896a yearsh8141 that are comingh935, and storeh6651 up the grainh1250 for foodh400 in the citiesh5892b underh8478 Pharaoh'sh6547 authorityh3027, and let them guardh8104 it.

36

"Let the foodh400 becomeh1961 as a reserveh6487 for the landh776 for the sevenh7651 yearsh8141 of famineh7458 whichh834 will occurh1961 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, so that the landh776 will not perishh3772 during the famineh7458."

37

Now the  1proposalh1697 seemedh3190 goodh3190  2to Pharaohh6547 and  2to allh3605 his servantsh5650.

Joseph Is Made a Ruler of Egypt

38

Then Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to his servantsh5650, "Can we findh4672 a manh376 like thish2088,  ain whomh834 is a divineh430 spirith7307?"

39

So Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to Josephh3130, "Sinceh310 Godh430 has informedh3045 you of allh3605 thish2088, thereh369 is noh369 oneh369 so  adiscerningh995 and wiseh2450 as you are.

40

aYou shall be overh5921 my househ1004, and accordingh5921 to your  1commandh6310 allh3605 my peopleh5971a shall  2doh5401a homageh5401a; onlyh7534 in the throneh3678 I will be greaterh1431 thanh4480 you."

41

Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to Josephh3130, "Seeh7200, I have seth5414 you  aoverh5921 allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714."

42

Then Pharaohh6547  atookh5493 offh5493 his signeth2885 ringh2885 from his handh3027 and puth5414 it on Joseph'sh3130 handh3027, and clothedh3847 him in garmentsh899b of fineh8336 linenh8336 and  bputh7760 the goldh2091 necklaceh7242 aroundh5921 his neckh6677.

43

He had him rideh7392 in  1his secondh4932 charioth4818; and they proclaimedh7121 beforeh6440 him, " 2Bowh86 the kneeh86!" And he seth5414 him overh5921 allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714.

44

Moreover, Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to Josephh3130, "Though I am Pharaohh6547, yet  awithouth1107  1your permission noh3808 oneh376 shall raiseh7311 his handh3027 or footh7272 in allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714."

45

Then Pharaohh6547 namedh7121h8034 Josephh3130  1Zaphenath-paneahh6847; and he gaveh5414 him Asenathh621, the daughterh1323 of Potipherah6319 priesth3548 of  2 aOnh204, as his wifeh802. And Josephh3130 wenth3318 forthh3318 overh5921 the landh776 of Egypth4714.

46

Now Josephh3130 was  athirtyh7970 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he  1stoodh5975 beforeh6440 Pharaohh6547, kingh4428 of Egypth4714. And Josephh3130 wenth3318 out from the presenceh6440 of Pharaohh6547 and wenth5674a throughh5674a allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714.

47

During the sevenh7651 yearsh8141 of plentyh7647 the landh776 broughth6213a forthh6213a  1abundantlyh7062.

48

So he gatheredh6908 allh3605 the foodh400 of these sevenh7651 yearsh8141 whichh834 occurredh1961 in the landh776 of Egypth4714 and placedh5414 the foodh400 in the citiesh5892b; he placedh5414 in every cityh5892b the foodh400 from its own surroundingh5439 fieldsh7704.

49

Thus Josephh3130 storedh6651 up grainh1250  1in greath3966 abundanceh3966 like the sandh2344 of the seah3220, untilh5704h3588 he stoppedh2308  2measuringh5608 it, for it was  3beyondh369 measureh4557.

The Sons of Joseph

50

Now beforeh2962 the yearh8141 of famineh7458 cameh935,  atwoh8147 sonsh1121 were bornh3205 to Josephh3130, whomh834 Asenathh621, the daughterh1323 of Potipherah6319 priesth3548 of  1Onh204, boreh3205 to him.

51

Josephh3130 namedh7121h8034 the firstbornh1060  1Manassehh4519, "For," he said, "Godh430 has made me forgeth5382 allh3605 my troubleh5999 and allh3605 my father'sh1 householdh1004."

52

He namedh7121h8034 the secondh8145  1Ephraimh669, "For," he said,aGodh430 has madeh6509 me fruitfulh6509 in the landh776 of my afflictionh6040a."

53

When the sevenh7651 yearsh8141 of plentyh7647 whichh834 had beenh1961 in the landh776 of Egypth4714 cameh3615 to an endh3615,

54

and  athe sevenh7651 yearsh8141 of famineh7458 beganh2490c to comeh935, justh3512c as Josephh3130 had saidh559, then there was famineh7458 in allh3605 the landsh776, but in allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714 there was breadh3899.

55

So when allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714 was famishedh7456, the peopleh5971a criedh6817 out to Pharaohh6547 for breadh3899; and Pharaohh6547 saidh559 to allh3605 the Egyptiansh4714, "Goh1980 to Josephh3130;  awhateverh834 he saysh559 to you, you shall doh6213a."

56

When the famineh7458 was spread overh5921 allh3605 the faceh6440 of the earthh776, then Josephh3130 openedh6605a allh3605  1the storehousesh834, and soldh7666 to the Egyptiansh4714; and the famineh7458 was severeh2388 in the landh776 of Egypth4714.

57

The people of allh3605 the earthh776 cameh935 to Egypth4714 to buyh7666 grainh7666 from Josephh3130, becauseh3588  athe famineh7458 was severeh2388 in allh3605 the earthh776.
