Genesis 41:1

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

And it cometh to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and lo, he is standing by the River,

Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;

Genesis 41:2

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

and lo, from the River coming up are seven kine, of fair appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds;

And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-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 lo, seven other kine are coming up after them out of the River, of bad appearance, and lean [in] flesh, and they stand near the kine on the edge of the River,

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.

Genesis 41:4

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

and the kine of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up the seven kine of fair appearance, and fat and Pharaoh awaketh.

And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.

Genesis 41:6

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

And he sleepeth, and dreameth a second time, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,

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.

Genesis 41:6

Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,

and lo, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;

And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.

Genesis 41:7

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

and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears and Pharaoh awaketh, and lo, a dream.

And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw 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 cometh to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sendeth and calleth all the scribes of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounteth to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.

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.

Genesis 41:9

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

And the chief of the butlers speaketh with Pharaoh, saying, `My sin I mention this day:

Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;

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 hath been wroth against his servants, and giveth me into charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers;

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;

Genesis 41:11

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

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

And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.

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 [is] with us a youth, a Hebrew, servant to the chief of the executioners, and we recount to him, and he interpreteth to us our dreams, [to] each according to his dream hath he interpreted,

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.

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 cometh to pass, as he hath interpreted to us so it hath been, me he put back on my station, and him he hanged.`

And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.

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.

And Pharaoh sendeth and calleth Joseph, and they cause him to run out of the pit, and he shaveth, and changeth his garments, and cometh in unto Pharaoh.

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.

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 saith unto Joseph, `A dream I have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it, and I I have heard concerning thee, saying, Thou understandest a dream to interpret it,`

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.

Genesis 41:16

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

and Joseph answereth Pharaoh, saying, `Without me God doth answer Pharaoh with peace.`

Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.

Genesis 41:17

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

And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph: `In my dream, lo, I am standing by the edge of the River,

Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile:

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 lo, out of the River coming up are seven kine, fat [in] flesh, and of fair form, and they feed among the reeds;

And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-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 lo, seven other kine are coming up after them, thin, and of very bad form, and lean [in] flesh; I have not seen like these in all the land of Egypt for badness.

Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;

Genesis 41:20

And the devoured and consumed the former,

`And the lean and the bad kine eat up the first seven fat kine,

And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;

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 come in unto their midst, and it hath not been known that they have come in unto their midst, and their appearance [is] bad as at the commencement; and I awake.

And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.

Genesis 41:22

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

`And I see in my dream, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;

And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:

Genesis 41:23

Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:

and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;

And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming 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 swallow the seven good ears; and I tell unto the scribes, and there is none declaring to me.`

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.

Genesis 41:25

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

And Joseph saith unto Pharaoh, `The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he hath declared to Pharaoh;

Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

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 good kine are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one;

The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.

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 thin and bad kine which are coming up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an east wind, are seven years of famine;

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.

Genesis 41:28

Which shall be fulfilled in this order:

this [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: That which God is doing, he hath shewn Pharaoh.

As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.

Genesis 41:29

Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:

`Lo, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt,

Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;

Genesis 41:30

After which shall follow other seven years of so great scacity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,

and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine hath finished the land,

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;

Genesis 41:31

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

and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterwards, for it [is] very grievous.

And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.

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 because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hastening to do it.

And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

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 provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;

And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority 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 make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,

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.

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 they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh food in the cities; and they have kept [it],

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.

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 the food hath been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.`

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.

Genesis 41:37

The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.

And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,

And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

Genesis 41:38

And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?

and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God [is]?`

Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

Genesis 41:39

He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?

and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God`s causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;

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:

Genesis 41:40

Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.

thou thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.`

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.

Genesis 41:41

And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `See, I have put thee over all the land of Egypt.`

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41:42

And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.

And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him [with] garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,

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;

Genesis 41:43

And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made govenor over the whole land of Egypt.

and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he hath, and they proclaim before him, `Bow the knee!` and to put him over all the land of Egypt.

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.

Genesis 41:44

And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I [am] Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;`

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41:45

And he turned his name, and called him in the Eyyptian tounge, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Asenth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:

and Pharaoh calleth Joseph`s name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt.

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.

Genesis 41:46

(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.

And Joseph [is] a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of Egypt;

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.

Genesis 41:47

And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corm being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.

and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.

Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.

Genesis 41:48

And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.

And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which [is] round about [each] city hath he put in its midst;

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.

Genesis 41:49

And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.

and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is no number.

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.

Genesis 41:50

And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.

And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him,

And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.

Genesis 41:51

And he called the name of the first born Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father's house.

and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;`

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.

Genesis 41:52

And he named the second Epharaim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.

and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: `for, God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction.`

And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.

Genesis 41:53

And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,

And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.

Genesis 41:54

The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.

and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread;

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.

Genesis 41:55

And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.

and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people crieth unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh saith to all the Egyptians, `Go unto Joseph; that which he saith to you do.`

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.

Genesis 41:56

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.

Genesis 41:57

And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.

and all the earth hath come to Egypt, to buy, unto Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.

And all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth.
