 41:1  And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that
Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
 41:2  And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well
favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
 41:3  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.
 41:4  And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the
seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
 41:5  And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold,
seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
 41:6  And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east
wind sprung up after them.
 41:7  And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full
ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream.
 41:8  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 thereof: and Pharaoh told them his
dream; but [there was] none that could interpret them unto
Pharaoh.
 41:9  Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
remember my faults this day:
 41:10  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:
 41:11  And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we
dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
 41:12  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.
 41:13  And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it
was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
 41:14  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 unto Pharaoh.
 41:15  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.
 41:16  And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me:
God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
 41:17  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I
stood upon the bank of the river:
 41:18  And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,
fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
 41:19  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:
 41:20  And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the
first seven fat kine:
 41:21  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.
 41:22  And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up
in one stalk, full and good:
 41:23  And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted
with the east wind, sprung up after them:
 41:24  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.
 41:25  And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is]
one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do.
 41:26  The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven
good ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one.
 41:27  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.
 41:28  This [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh:
What God [is] about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh.
 41:29  Behold, there come seven years of great plenty
throughout all the land of Egypt:
 41:30  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;
 41:31  And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason
of that famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous.
 41:32  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.
 41:33  Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and
wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
 41:34  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.
 41:35  And let them gather all the food of those good years
that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let
them keep food in the cities.
 41:36  And that food shall be for store to the land against
the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt;
that the land perish not through the famine.
 41:37  And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in
the eyes of all his servants.
 41:38  And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a
one] as this [is], a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?
 41:39  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath
showed thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as
thou [art]:
 41:40  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.
 41:41  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over
all the land of Egypt.
 41:42  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 chain about his neck;
 41:43  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.
 41:44  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.
 41:45  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.
 41:46  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.
 41:47  And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought
forth by handfuls.
 41:48  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, laid he up in the same.
 41:49  And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very
much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without number.
 41:50  And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of
famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of
On bare unto him.
 41:51  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.
 41:52  And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God
hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
 41:53  And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the
land of Egypt, were ended.
 41:54  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.
 41:55  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.
 41:56  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.
 41:57  And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy
[corn]; because that the famine was [so] sore in all lands.
