Genesis 41
1 Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;
And it was from [the] end of two years days and Pharaoh [was] dreaming and there! [he was] standing at the River.
2 And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.
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 after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.
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 the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.
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 But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.
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 after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.
And there! seven ears of grain thin and scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
7 And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.
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 in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.
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 Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;
And he spoke [the] chief of the cup bearers with Pharaoh saying sins my I [am] bringing to remembrance this day.
10 Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;
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 had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.
And we dreamed! a dream in a night one I and he each according to [the] interpretation of dream his we dreamed.
12 And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.
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 came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.
And it was just as he interpreted for us so it was me he restored to office my and him he hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.
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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.
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 Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.
And he answered Joseph Pharaoh saying apart from me God he will answer [the] welfare of Pharaoh.
17 Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile:
And he spoke Pharaoh to Joseph in dream my if [was] I standing on [the] bank of the River.
18 And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;
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 Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;
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 the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;
And they ate the cows thin and displeasing seven the cows former fat.
21 And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.
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 again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:
And I saw in dream my and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one full and good.
23 And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:
And there! seven ears of grain withered thin scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
24 And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.
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 Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
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 The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.
Seven cows good [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain good [are] seven years they [is] dream one it.
27 The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food.
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 As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.
That [is] the word which I spoke to Pharaoh [that] which God [is] about to do he has shown Pharaoh.
29 Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;
There! seven years [are] about to come plenty great [will be] in all [the] land of Egypt.
30 And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;
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 men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.
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 this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.
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 now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt.
And therefore let him see Pharaoh a man discerning and wise and let him set him over [the] land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.
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 get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.
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 let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.
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 this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.
And it was good the word in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of all servants his.
38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?
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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense as you:
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, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.
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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph see I set you over all [the] land of Egypt.
42 Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck;
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 him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
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 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.
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 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through all the land of Egypt.
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 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
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 Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.
And it produced the land in seven [the] years of plenty to handfuls.
48 And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.
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 So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.
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 before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.
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 to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.
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 to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.
And [the] name of the second he called Ephraim for he has made fruitful me God in [the] land of affliction my.
53 And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.
And they came to an end seven [the] years of plenty which it was in [the] land of Egypt.
54 Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.
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 when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.
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 everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.
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 lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth.
And all the earth they came Egypt towards to buy grain to Joseph for it was severe the famine in all the earth.
