Book 01 : GENESIS - Chapter 041
041:001
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well
favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow
041:002
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
041:003
And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven
well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke
041:004
And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven
ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good
041:005
And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind
sprung up after them
041:006
And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears.
And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream
041:007
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
041:008
Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
remember my faults this day
041:009
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
041:010
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each
man according to the interpretation of his dream
041:011
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
041:012
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he
restored unto mine office, and him he hanged
041:013
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
041:014
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
041:015
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God
shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace
041:016
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood
upon the bank of the river
041:017
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,
fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow
041:018
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
041:019
And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first
seven fat kine
041:020
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
041:021
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one
stalk, full and good
041:022
And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the
east wind, sprung up after them
041:023
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
041:024
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God
hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do
041:025
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears
are seven years: the dream is one
041:026
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
041:027
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God
is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh
041:028
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all
the land of Egypt
041:029
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
041:030
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of
that famine following; for it shall be very grievous
041:031
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
041:032
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise,
and set him over the land of Egypt
041:033
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
041:034
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
041:035
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
041:036
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes
of all his servants
041:037
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as
this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is
041:038
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed
thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art
041:039
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
041:040
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all
the land of Egypt
041:041
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
041:042
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
041:043
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
041:044
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
041:045
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
041:046
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
handfuls
041:047
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
041:048
And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much,
until he left numbering; for it was without number
041:049
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
041:050
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
041:051
And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction
041:052
And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of
Egypt, were ended
041:053
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
041:054
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
041:055
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
041:056
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn;
because that the famine was so sore in all lands
