Genesis - Chapter: 41


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 shewed 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 sheweth 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 shewed 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.


41:1	And two yeeres after, Pharaoh also dreamed, and beholde, he stoode by a riuer,
41:2	And loe, there came out of the riuer seuen goodly kine and fatfleshed, and they fedde in a medowe:
41:3	And loe, seuen other kine came vp after the out of the riuer, euill fauoured and leane fleshed, and stoode by the other kine vpon the brinke of the riuer.
41:4	And the euilfauoured and leane fleshed kine did eate vp the seuen welfauoured and fatte kine: so Pharaoh awoke.
41:5	Againe he slept, and dreamed the second time: and beholde, seuen eares of corne grewe vpon one stalke, ranke and goodly.
41:6	And loe, seuen thinne eares, and blasted with the east winde, sprang vp after them:
41:7	And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen ranke and full eares. then Pharaoh awaked, and loe, it was a dreame.
41:8	Nowe when the morning came, his spirit was troubled: therefore he sent and called all the soothsayers of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof, and Pharaoh tolde them his dreames: but none coulde interprete them to Pharaoh.
41:9	Then spake the chiefe butler vnto Pharaoh, saying, I call to minde my faultes this day.
41:10	Pharaoh being angrie with his seruantes, put me in ward in the chiefe stewards house, both me and the chiefe baker.
41:11	Then we dreamed a dreame in one night, both I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretation of his dreame.
41:12	And there was with vs a yong man, an Ebrew, seruant vnto the chiefe steward, whome when we told, he declared our dreames to vs, to euery one he declared according to his dreame.
41:13	And as he declared vnto vs, so it came to passe: for he restored me to mine office, and hanged him.
41:14	Then sent Pharaoh, and called Ioseph, and they brought him hastily out of prison, and he shaued him, and chaunged his rayment, and came to Pharaoh.
41:15	Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it.
41:16	And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh.
41:17	And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:
41:18	And lo, there came vp out of the riuer seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe.
41:19	Also loe, seuen other kine came vp after them, poore and very euilfauoured, and leanefleshed: I neuer sawe the like in all the lande of Egypt, for euilfauoured.
41:20	And the leane and euilfauoured kine did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.
41:21	And when they had eaten them vp, it could not be knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still as euilfauoured, as they were at the beginning: so did I awake.
41:22	Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire.
41:23	And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne, and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them.
41:24	And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto me.
41:25	Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
41:26	The seuen good kine are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame.
41:27	Likewise the seuen thinne and euilfauoured kine, that came out after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East winde, are seuen yeeres of famine.
41:28	This is the thing which I haue saide vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
41:29	Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie in all the land of Egypt.
41:30	Againe, there shall arise after them seuen yeeres of famine, so that all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land:
41:31	Neither shall the plentie bee knowen in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great.
41:32	And therefore the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaoh the second time, because the thing is established by God, and God hasteth to performe it.
41:33	Nowe therefore let Pharaoh prouide for a man of vnderstanding and wisedome, and set him ouer the land of Egypt.
41:34	Let Pharaoh make and appoynt officers ouer the lande, and take vp the fift part of the land of Egypt in the seuen plenteous yeeres.
41:35	Also let them gather all the foode of these good yeeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hand of Pharaoh for foode, in the cities, and let them keepe it.
41:36	So the foode shall be for the prouision of the lande, against the seuen yeeres of famine, which shalbe in the lande of Egypt, that the land perish not by famine.
41:37	And the saying pleased Pharaoh and all his seruants.
41:38	Then saide Pharaoh vnto his seruants, Can we finde such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?
41:39	The Pharaoh said to Ioseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderstanding, or of wisedome like vnto thee.
41:40	Thou shalt be ouer mine house, and at thy word shall all my people be armed, onely in the kings throne will I be aboue thee.
41:41	Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph, Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt.
41:42	And Pharaoh tooke off his ring from his hand, and put it vpon Iosephs hand, and arayed him in garments of fine linnen, and put a golden cheyne about his necke.
41:43	So he set him vpon the best charet that hee had, saue one: and they cryed before him, Abrech, and placed him ouer all the land of Egypt.
41:44	Againe Pharaoh saide vnto Ioseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift vp his hand or his foote in all the land of Egypt.
41:45	And Pharaoh called Iosephs name Zaphnath-paaneah: and he gaue him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On. then went Ioseph abrode in the land of Egypt.
41:46	And Ioseph was thirtie yeere old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and Ioseph departing from the presence of Pharaoh, went throughout all the land of Egypt.
41:47	And in the seuen plenteous yeres the earth brought foorth store.
41:48	And hee gathered vp all the foode of the seuen plenteous yeeres, which were in the lande of Egypt, and layde vp foode in the cities: the foode of the fielde, that was round about euery citie, layde he vp in the same.
41:49	So Ioseph gathered wheate, like vnto the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, vntill he left numbring: for it was without number.
41:50	Now vnto Ioseph were borne two sonnes (before the yeeres of famine came) which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On bare vnto him.
41:51	And Ioseph called the name of the first borne Manasseh: for God, said he, hath made me forget all my labour and al my fathers houshold.
41:52	Also hee called the name of the second, Ephraim: For God, sayde he hath made me fruitfull in the land of mine affliction.
41:53	So the seuen yeeres of the plentie that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
41:54	Then began the seuen yeeres of famine to come, according as Ioseph had saide: and the famine was in all landes, but in all the land of Egypt was bread.
41:55	At the length all the lande of Egypt was affamished, and the people cryed to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said vnto all the Egyptians, Goe to Ioseph: what he sayth to you, doe ye.
41:56	When the famine was vpon all the land, Ioseph opened all places, wherein the store was, and solde vnto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
41:57	And all countries came to Egypt to bye corne of Ioseph, because the famine was sore in all landes.
