Genesis 41:1

After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.

Genesis 41:2

Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.

And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.

Genesis 41:3

Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:

And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river.

Genesis 41:4

And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.

And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.

Genesis 41:6

He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:

And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good.

Genesis 41:6

Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,

And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them.

Genesis 41:7

And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:

And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream.

Genesis 41:8

And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.

And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.

Genesis 41:9

Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:

Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.

Genesis 41:10

The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:

Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.

Genesis 41:11

Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.

And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.

Genesis 41:12

There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,

And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.

Genesis 41:13

And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.

And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.

Genesis 41:14

Forthwith at the king's command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved [himself], and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.

Genesis 41:15

And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.

Genesis 41:16

Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

Genesis 41:17

So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.

Genesis 41:18

And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.

And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.

Genesis 41:19

And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:

And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.

Genesis 41:20

And the devoured and consumed the former,

And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;

Genesis 41:21

And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,

and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

Genesis 41:22

And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.

And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;

Genesis 41:24

And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.

and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.

Genesis 41:25

Joseph answered: The king's dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.

And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.

Genesis 41:26

The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.

The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

Genesis 41:27

And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:

And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine.

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.

And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.

Genesis 41:31

And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.

And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.

Genesis 41:32

And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.

And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.

Genesis 41:33

Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:

And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41:34

That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,

Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty,

Genesis 41:35

That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao's hands and be reserved in the cities.

and let them gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep [it].

Genesis 41:36

And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not consumed with scarcity.

And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.

And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.

Genesis 41:38
