Genesis 41
1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed. And, behold, he stood by the river.
| וַיְהִ֕י מִקֵּ֖ץ שְׁנָתַ֣יִם יָמִ֑ים וּפַרְעֹ֣ה חֹלֵ֔ם וְהִנֵּ֖ה עֹמֵ֥ד עַל־הַיְאֹֽר׃ |
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, well-favored and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed grass.
| וְהִנֵּ֣ה מִן־הַיְאֹ֗ר עֹלֹת֙ שֶׁ֣בַע פָּרֹ֔ות יְפֹ֥ות מַרְאֶ֖ה וּבְרִיאֹ֣ת בָּשָׂ֑ר וַתִּרְעֶ֖ינָה בָּאָֽחוּ׃ |
3 And, behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other cows upon the brink of the river.
| וְהִנֵּ֞ה שֶׁ֧בַע פָּרֹ֣ות אֲחֵרֹ֗ות עֹלֹ֤ות אַחֲרֵיהֶן֙ מִן־הַיְאֹ֔ר רָעֹ֥ות מַרְאֶ֖ה וְדַקֹּ֣ות בָּשָׂ֑ר וַֽתַּעֲמֹ֛דְנָה אֵ֥צֶל הַפָּרֹ֖ות עַל־שְׂפַ֥ת הַיְאֹֽר׃ |
4 And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven well-favored and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
| וַתֹּאכַ֣לְנָה הַפָּרֹ֗ות רָעֹ֤ות הַמַּרְאֶה֙ וְדַקֹּ֣ת הַבָּשָׂ֔ר אֵ֚ת שֶׁ֣בַע הַפָּרֹ֔ות יְפֹ֥ת הַמַּרְאֶ֖ה וְהַבְּרִיאֹ֑ת וַיִּיקַ֖ץ פַּרְעֹֽה׃ |
5 And he slept and dreamed a second time. And, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, fat and good.
| וַיִּישָׁ֕ן וַֽיַּחֲלֹ֖ם שֵׁנִ֑ית וְהִנֵּ֣ה ׀ שֶׁ֣בַע שִׁבֳּלִ֗ים עֹלֹ֛ות בְּקָנֶ֥ה אֶחָ֖ד בְּרִיאֹ֥ות וְטֹבֹֽות׃ |
6 And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
| וְהִנֵּה֙ שֶׁ֣בַע שִׁבֳּלִ֔ים דַּקֹּ֖ות וּשְׁדוּפֹ֣ת קָדִ֑ים צֹמְחֹ֖ות אַחֲרֵיהֶֽן׃ |
7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
| וַתִּבְלַ֙עְנָה֙ הַשִּׁבֳּלִ֣ים הַדַּקֹּ֔ות אֵ֚ת שֶׁ֣בַע הַֽשִּׁבֳּלִ֔ים הַבְּרִיאֹ֖ות וְהַמְּלֵאֹ֑ות וַיִּיקַ֥ץ פַּרְעֹ֖ה וְהִנֵּ֥ה חֲלֹֽום׃ |
8 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 of it. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was no man who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
| וַיְהִ֤י בַבֹּ֙קֶר֙ וַתִּפָּ֣עֶם רוּחֹ֔ו וַיִּשְׁלַ֗ח וַיִּקְרָ֛א אֶת־כָּל־חַרְטֻמֵּ֥י מִצְרַ֖יִם וְאֶת־כָּל־חֲכָמֶ֑יהָ וַיְסַפֵּ֨ר פַּרְעֹ֤ה לָהֶם֙ אֶת־חֲלֹמֹ֔ו וְאֵין־פֹּותֵ֥ר אֹותָ֖ם לְפַרְעֹֽה׃ |
9 Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day.
| וַיְדַבֵּר֙ שַׂ֣ר הַמַּשְׁקִ֔ים אֶת־פַּרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר אֶת־חֲטָאַ֕י אֲנִ֖י מַזְכִּ֥יר הַיֹּֽום׃ |
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
| פַּרְעֹ֖ה קָצַ֣ף עַל־עֲבָדָ֑יו וַיִּתֵּ֨ן אֹתִ֜י בְּמִשְׁמַ֗ר בֵּ֚ית שַׂ֣ר הַטַּבָּחִ֔ים אֹתִ֕י וְאֵ֖ת שַׂ֥ר הָאֹפִֽים׃ |
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he, we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
| וַנַּֽחַלְמָ֥ה חֲלֹ֛ום בְּלַ֥יְלָה אֶחָ֖ד אֲנִ֣י וָה֑וּא אִ֛ישׁ כְּפִתְרֹ֥ון חֲלֹמֹ֖ו חָלָֽמְנוּ׃ |
12 And there was a young man with us there, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him. And he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
| וְשָׁ֨ם אִתָּ֜נוּ נַ֣עַר עִבְרִ֗י עֶ֚בֶד לְשַׂ֣ר הַטַּבָּחִ֔ים וַנְּ֨סַפֶּר־לֹ֔ו וַיִּפְתָּר־לָ֖נוּ אֶת־חֲלֹמֹתֵ֑ינוּ אִ֥ישׁ כַּחֲלֹמֹ֖ו פָּתָֽר׃ |
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; he restored me to my office, and he hanged him.
| וַיְהִ֛י כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּֽתַר־לָ֖נוּ כֵּ֣ן הָיָ֑ה אֹתִ֛י הֵשִׁ֥יב עַל־כַּנִּ֖י וְאֹתֹ֥ו תָלָֽה׃ |
14 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 to Pharaoh.
| וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח פַּרְעֹה֙ וַיִּקְרָ֣א אֶת־יֹוסֵ֔ף וַיְרִיצֻ֖הוּ מִן־הַבֹּ֑ור וַיְגַלַּח֙ וַיְחַלֵּ֣ף שִׂמְלֹתָ֔יו וַיָּבֹ֖א אֶל־פַּרְעֹֽה׃ |
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no man who can interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, that when thou hear a dream thou can interpret it.
| וַיֹּ֤אמֶר פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶל־יֹוסֵ֔ף חֲלֹ֣ום חָלַ֔מְתִּי וּפֹתֵ֖ר אֵ֣ין אֹתֹ֑ו וַאֲנִ֗י שָׁמַ֤עְתִּי עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר תִּשְׁמַ֥ע חֲלֹ֖ום לִפְתֹּ֥ר אֹתֹֽו׃ |
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
| וַיַּ֨עַן יֹוסֵ֧ף אֶת־פַּרְעֹ֛ה לֵאמֹ֖ר בִּלְעָדָ֑י אֱלֹהִ֕ים יַעֲנֶ֖ה אֶת־שְׁלֹ֥ום פַּרְעֹֽה׃ |
17 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river.
| וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר פַּרְעֹ֖ה אֶל־יֹוסֵ֑ף בַּחֲלֹמִ֕י הִנְנִ֥י עֹמֵ֖ד עַל־שְׂפַ֥ת הַיְאֹֽר׃ |
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed and well-favored, and they fed in the reed grass.
| וְהִנֵּ֣ה מִן־הַיְאֹ֗ר עֹלֹת֙ שֶׁ֣בַע פָּרֹ֔ות בְּרִיאֹ֥ות בָּשָׂ֖ר וִיפֹ֣ת תֹּ֑אַר וַתִּרְעֶ֖ינָה בָּאָֽחוּ׃ |
19 And, behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
| וְהִנֵּ֞ה שֶֽׁבַע־פָּרֹ֤ות אֲחֵרֹות֙ עֹלֹ֣ות אַחֲרֵיהֶ֔ן דַּלֹּ֨ות וְרָעֹ֥ות תֹּ֛אַר מְאֹ֖ד וְרַקֹּ֣ות בָּשָׂ֑ר לֹֽא־רָאִ֧יתִי כָהֵ֛נָּה בְּכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם לָרֹֽעַ׃ |
20 And the lean and ill-favored cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
| וַתֹּאכַ֙לְנָה֙ הַפָּרֹ֔ות הָרַקֹּ֖ות וְהָרָעֹ֑ות אֵ֣ת שֶׁ֧בַע הַפָּרֹ֛ות הָרִאשֹׁנֹ֖ות הַבְּרִיאֹֽת׃ |
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
| וַתָּבֹ֣אנָה אֶל־קִרְבֶּ֗נָה וְלֹ֤א נֹודַע֙ כִּי־בָ֣אוּ אֶל־קִרְבֶּ֔נָה וּמַרְאֵיהֶ֣ן רַ֔ע כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר בַּתְּחִלָּ֑ה וָאִיקָֽץ׃ |
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.
| וָאֵ֖רֶא בַּחֲלֹמִ֑י וְהִנֵּ֣ה ׀ שֶׁ֣בַע שִׁבֳּלִ֗ים עֹלֹ֛ת בְּקָנֶ֥ה אֶחָ֖ד מְלֵאֹ֥ת וְטֹבֹֽות׃ |
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them,
| וְהִנֵּה֙ שֶׁ֣בַע שִׁבֳּלִ֔ים צְנֻמֹ֥ות דַּקֹּ֖ות שְׁדֻפֹ֣ות קָדִ֑ים צֹמְחֹ֖ות אַחֲרֵיהֶֽם׃ |
24 and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no man who could declare it to me.
| וַתִּבְלַ֙עְןָ֙ הָשִׁבֳּלִ֣ים הַדַּקֹּ֔ת אֵ֛ת שֶׁ֥בַע הַֽשִׁבֳּלִ֖ים הַטֹּבֹ֑ות וָֽאֹמַר֙ אֶל־הַֽחַרְטֻמִּ֔ים וְאֵ֥ין מַגִּ֖יד לִֽי׃ |
25 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
| וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יֹוסֵף֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה חֲלֹ֥ום פַּרְעֹ֖ה אֶחָ֣ד ה֑וּא אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁ֧ר הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים עֹשֶׂ֖ה הִגִּ֥יד לְפַרְעֹֽה׃ |
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.
| שֶׁ֧בַע פָּרֹ֣ת הַטֹּבֹ֗ת שֶׁ֤בַע שָׁנִים֙ הֵ֔נָּה וְשֶׁ֤בַע הַֽשִּׁבֳּלִים֙ הַטֹּבֹ֔ת שֶׁ֥בַע שָׁנִ֖ים הֵ֑נָּה חֲלֹ֖ום אֶחָ֥ד הֽוּא׃ |
27 And the seven lean and ill-favored cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind, they shall be seven years of famine.
| וְשֶׁ֣בַע הַ֠פָּרֹות הָֽרַקֹּ֨ות וְהָרָעֹ֜ת הָעֹלֹ֣ת אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ן שֶׁ֤בַע שָׁנִים֙ הֵ֔נָּה וְשֶׁ֤בַע הַֽשִׁבֳּלִים֙ הָרֵקֹ֔ות שְׁדֻפֹ֖ות הַקָּדִ֑ים יִהְי֕וּ שֶׁ֖בַע שְׁנֵ֥י רָעָֽב׃ |
28 That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.
| ה֣וּא הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים עֹשֶׂ֖ה הֶרְאָ֥ה אֶת־פַּרְעֹֽה׃ |
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,
| הִנֵּ֛ה שֶׁ֥בַע שָׁנִ֖ים בָּאֹ֑ות שָׂבָ֥ע גָּדֹ֖ול בְּכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
30 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.
| וְ֠קָמוּ שֶׁ֨בַע שְׁנֵ֤י רָעָב֙ אַחֲרֵיהֶ֔ן וְנִשְׁכַּ֥ח כָּל־הַשָּׂבָ֖ע בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וְכִלָּ֥ה הָרָעָ֖ב אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land because of that famine which follows, for it shall be very grievous.
| וְלֹֽא־יִוָּדַ֤ע הַשָּׂבָע֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ מִפְּנֵ֛י הָרָעָ֥ב הַה֖וּא אַחֲרֵי־כֵ֑ן כִּֽי־כָבֵ֥ד ה֖וּא מְאֹֽד׃ |
32 And because the dream was doubled to Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
| וְעַ֨ל הִשָּׁנֹ֧ות הַחֲלֹ֛ום אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֖ה פַּעֲמָ֑יִם כִּֽי־נָכֹ֤ון הַדָּבָר֙ מֵעִ֣ם הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וּמְמַהֵ֥ר הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים לַעֲשֹׂתֹֽו׃ |
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out for a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
| וְעַתָּה֙ יֵרֶ֣א פַרְעֹ֔ה אִ֖ישׁ נָבֹ֣ון וְחָכָ֑ם וִישִׁיתֵ֖הוּ עַל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.
| יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה פַרְעֹ֔ה וְיַפְקֵ֥ד פְּקִדִ֖ים עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וְחִמֵּשׁ֙ אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בְּשֶׁ֖בַע שְׁנֵ֥י הַשָּׂבָֽע׃ |
35 And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
| וְיִקְבְּצ֗וּ אֶת־כָּל־אֹ֙כֶל֙ הַשָּׁנִ֣ים הַטֹּבֹ֔ת הַבָּאֹ֖ת הָאֵ֑לֶּה וְיִצְבְּרוּ־בָ֞ר תַּ֧חַת יַד־פַּרְעֹ֛ה אֹ֥כֶל בֶּעָרִ֖ים וְשָׁמָֽרוּ׃ |
36 And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land not perish through the famine.
| וְהָיָ֨ה הָאֹ֤כֶל לְפִקָּדֹון֙ לָאָ֔רֶץ לְשֶׁ֙בַע֙ שְׁנֵ֣י הָרָעָ֔ב אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּהְיֶ֖יןָ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וְלֹֽא־תִכָּרֵ֥ת הָאָ֖רֶץ בָּרָעָֽב׃ |
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
| וַיִּיטַ֥ב הַדָּבָ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֑ה וּבְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃ |
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?
| וַיֹּ֥אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֖ה אֶל־עֲבָדָ֑יו הֲנִמְצָ֣א כָזֶ֔ה אִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֛ר ר֥וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֖ים בֹּֽו׃ |
39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Inasmuch as God has shown thee all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
| וַיֹּ֤אמֶר פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶל־יֹוסֵ֔ף אַחֲרֵ֨י הֹודִ֧יעַ אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֹותְךָ֖ אֶת־כָּל־זֹ֑את אֵין־נָבֹ֥ון וְחָכָ֖ם כָּמֹֽוךָ׃ |
40 Thou shall be over my house, and according to thy word all my people shall be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than thou.
| אַתָּה֙ תִּהְיֶ֣ה עַל־בֵּיתִ֔י וְעַל־פִּ֖יךָ יִשַּׁ֣ק כָּל־עַמִּ֑י רַ֥ק הַכִּסֵּ֖א אֶגְדַּ֥ל מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ |
41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
| וַיֹּ֥אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֖ה אֶל־יֹוסֵ֑ף רְאֵה֙ נָתַ֣תִּי אֹֽתְךָ֔ עַ֖ל כָּל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
42 And Pharaoh took his signet ring from off his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
| וַיָּ֨סַר פַּרְעֹ֤ה אֶת־טַבַּעְתֹּו֙ מֵעַ֣ל יָדֹ֔ו וַיִּתֵּ֥ן אֹתָ֖הּ עַל־יַ֣ד יֹוסֵ֑ף וַיַּלְבֵּ֤שׁ אֹתֹו֙ בִּגְדֵי־שֵׁ֔שׁ וַיָּ֛שֶׂם רְבִ֥ד הַזָּהָ֖ב עַל־צַוָּארֹֽו׃ |
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and they cried before him, Bow the knee. And he set him over all the land of Egypt.
| וַיַּרְכֵּ֣ב אֹתֹ֗ו בְּמִרְכֶּ֤בֶת הַמִּשְׁנֶה֙ אֲשֶׁר־לֹ֔ו וַיִּקְרְא֥וּ לְפָנָ֖יו אַבְרֵ֑ךְ וְנָתֹ֣ון אֹתֹ֔ו עַ֖ל כָּל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
| וַיֹּ֧אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֛ה אֶל־יֹוסֵ֖ף אֲנִ֣י פַרְעֹ֑ה וּבִלְעָדֶ֗יךָ לֹֽא־יָרִ֨ים אִ֧ישׁ אֶת־יָדֹ֛ו וְאֶת־רַגְלֹ֖ו בְּכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, for a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
| וַיִּקְרָ֨א פַרְעֹ֣ה שֵׁם־יֹוסֵף֮ צָֽפְנַ֣ת פַּעְנֵחַ֒ וַיִּתֶּן־לֹ֣ו אֶת־אָֽסְנַ֗ת בַּת־פֹּ֥וטִי פֶ֛רַע כֹּהֵ֥ן אֹ֖ן לְאִשָּׁ֑ה וַיֵּצֵ֥א יֹוסֵ֖ף עַל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
46 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.
| וְיֹוסֵף֙ בֶּן־שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה בְּעָמְדֹ֕ו לִפְנֵ֖י פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיֵּצֵ֤א יֹוסֵף֙ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה וַֽיַּעְבֹ֖ר בְּכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
| וַתַּ֣עַשׂ הָאָ֔רֶץ בְּשֶׁ֖בַע שְׁנֵ֣י הַשָּׂבָ֑ע לִקְמָצִֽים׃ |
48 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, he laid up in the same.
| וַיִּקְבֹּ֞ץ אֶת־כָּל־אֹ֣כֶל ׀ שֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָיוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם וַיִּתֶּן־אֹ֖כֶל בֶּעָרִ֑ים אֹ֧כֶל שְׂדֵה־הָעִ֛יר אֲשֶׁ֥ר סְבִיבֹתֶ֖יהָ נָתַ֥ן בְּתֹוכָֽהּ׃ |
49 And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering, for it was without number.
| וַיִּצְבֹּ֨ר יֹוסֵ֥ף בָּ֛ר כְּחֹ֥ול הַיָּ֖ם הַרְבֵּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד עַ֛ד כִּי־חָדַ֥ל לִסְפֹּ֖ר כִּי־אֵ֥ין מִסְפָּֽר׃ |
50 And two sons were born to Joseph before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
| וּלְיֹוסֵ֤ף יֻלַּד֙ שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֔ים בְּטֶ֥רֶם תָּבֹ֖וא שְׁנַ֣ת הָרָעָ֑ב אֲשֶׁ֤ר יָֽלְדָה־לֹּו֙ אָֽסְנַ֔ת בַּת־פֹּ֥וטִי פֶ֖רַע כֹּהֵ֥ן אֹֽון׃ |
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, for God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
| וַיִּקְרָ֥א יֹוסֵ֛ף אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם הַבְּכֹ֖ור מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה כִּֽי־נַשַּׁ֤נִי אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־כָּל־עֲמָלִ֔י וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽי׃ |
52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim, for God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.
| וְאֵ֛ת שֵׁ֥ם הַשֵּׁנִ֖י קָרָ֣א אֶפְרָ֑יִם כִּֽי־הִפְרַ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּאֶ֥רֶץ עָנְיִֽי׃ |
53 And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
| וַתִּכְלֶ֕ינָה שֶׁ֖בַע שְׁנֵ֣י הַשָּׂבָ֑ע אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיָ֖ה בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
54 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
| וַתְּחִלֶּ֜ינָה שֶׁ֣בַע שְׁנֵ֤י הָרָעָב֙ לָבֹ֔וא כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר אָמַ֣ר יֹוסֵ֑ף וַיְהִ֤י רָעָב֙ בְּכָל־הָ֣אֲרָצֹ֔ות וּבְכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם הָ֥יָה לָֽחֶם׃ |
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do.
| וַתִּרְעַב֙ כָּל־אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם וַיִּצְעַ֥ק הָעָ֛ם אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֖ה לַלָּ֑חֶם וַיֹּ֨אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֤ה לְכָל־מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ לְכ֣וּ אֶל־יֹוסֵ֔ף אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמַ֥ר לָכֶ֖ם תַּעֲשֽׂוּ׃ |
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth. And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
| וְהָרָעָ֣ב הָיָ֔ה עַ֖ל כָּל־פְּנֵ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּפְתַּ֨ח יֹוסֵ֜ף אֶֽת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּהֶם֙ וַיִּשְׁבֹּ֣ר לְמִצְרַ֔יִם וַיֶּחֱזַ֥ק הָֽרָעָ֖ב בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe on all the earth.
| וְכָל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ בָּ֣אוּ מִצְרַ֔יְמָה לִשְׁבֹּ֖ר אֶל־יֹוסֵ֑ף כִּֽי־חָזַ֥ק הָרָעָ֖ב בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
