* And it came to pass at the end of two full years , that Pharaoh dreamed : and , behold , he stood by the river y @#or #. * And , behold , there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed bariy #; and they fed in a meadow . * And , behold , seven other kine came up after them out of the river y @#or #, ill favoured and leanfleshed daq #; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river y @#or #. * And the ill favoured and leanfleshed daq # kine 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 Par #oh #. * Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh Par #oh #, saying , I do remember my faults this day : * Pharaoh was wroth with his servants , and put me in ward in the captain of the guards 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 na #ar #, 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 Par #oh #. * 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 Par #oh #, saying , It is not in me bil #adey #: God shall givePharaoh an answer of peace . * And Pharaoh said unto Joseph , In my dream , behold , I stood upon the bank of the river y @#or #: * And , behold , there came up out of the river seven kine , fatfleshed bariy # and well favoured to #ar #; and they fed in a meadow : * And , behold , seven other kine came up after them , poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed raq #, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness : * 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 Par #oh #, 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 ra #ab #. * This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh Par #oh #: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh Par #oh #. * Behold , there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt : * And there shall arise after them seven years of famine ra #ab #; 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 #H3651 ; for it shall be very grievous . * And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice pa #am #; 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 all the food of those good years that come , and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh Par #oh #, and let them keep food in the cities . * And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine ra #ab #, which shall be in the land of Egypt ; that the land perish not through the famine ra #ab #. * And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh Par #oh #, 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 Josephs hand , and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen , and put a gold chain about his neck tsavva #r #; * And he made him to ride in the second chariot 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 Par #oh #, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt . * And Pharaoh called Josephs name Zaphnathpaaneah Tsophnath Pa #neach #; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah Powtiypriest 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 Par #oh #, 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 corn as the sand of the sea , very much , until he left numbering ; for it was without number . * And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came , which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah Powtiypriest of On bare unto him . * And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh : For God , said he , hath made me forget all my toil , and all my fathers 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 was over all the face of the earth : And Joseph opened all the storehouses , and sold unto the Egyptians ; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt . * And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ; because that the famine was so sore in all lands .
