{Genesis 41:1} 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} And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:4} And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:5} And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:6} And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:7} And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:9} Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:11} And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:16} And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:17} And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:18} And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:20} And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:22} And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:23} And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:25} And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:26} The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven good ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:28} This [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God [is] about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:29} Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:31} And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:33} Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:37} And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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: ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:41} And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:45} And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti- pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over [all] the land of Egypt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:47} And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:49} And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without number. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:50} And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti- pherah priest of On bare unto him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:53} And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Genesis 41:57} And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy [corn;] because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
