                                   Chapter 41


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

  2. And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well
     favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

  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.

  4. And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the
     seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

  5. And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven
     ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

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

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

  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.

  9. Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
     remember my faults this day:

 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:

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

 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.

 13. And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me
     he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

 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.

 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.

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

 17. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood
     upon the bank of the river:

 18. And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,
     fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

 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:

 20. And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first
     seven fat kine:

 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.

 22. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in
     one stalk, full and good:

 23. And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with
     the east wind, sprung up after them:

 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.

 25. And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one:
     God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

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

 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.

 28. This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God
     is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

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

 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;

 31. And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of
     that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

 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.

 33. Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise,
     and set him over the land of Egypt.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 37. And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the
     eyes of all his servants.

 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?

 39. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed
     thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou
     art:

 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. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all
     the land of Egypt.

 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;

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 47. And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
     handfuls.

 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.

 49. And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much,
     until he left numbering; for it was without number.

 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.

 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.

 52. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
     caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

 53. And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land
     of Egypt, were ended.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 57. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn;
     because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
