Genesis 41:25-49

25And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What 1God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.

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

27And 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.

28This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what 2God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.

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

30And 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.

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

32And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by 3God, and 4God will hasten to do it.

33And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34Let 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,

35and 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].

36And 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.

37And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.

38And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find [one] as this, a man in whom the Spirit of 5God is?

39And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since 6God has made all this known to thee, there is none [so] discreet and wise as thou.

40Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.

41And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

42And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in clothes of byssus, and put a gold chain on his neck.

43And he caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! and he set him over all the land of Egypt.

44And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

45And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

46And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.

47And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.

48And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were round about it, he laid up in it.

49And Joseph laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
