Genesis 41:33-57

33NowH6258 let PharaohH6547 lookH7200 for a manH376 1discerningH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 takeH6213 actionH6213 to appointH6485 overseersH6496 2in chargeH5921 of the landH776, and let him exactH2567 a fifthH2567 of the produce of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of abundanceH7647. 35Then let them 3gatherH6908 allH3605 the foodH3978 of theseH428 goodH2896 yearsH8141 that are comingH935, and storeH6651 up the grainH1250 for foodH400 in the citiesH5892 underH8478 Pharaoh’sH6547 authorityH3027, and let them guardH8104 it. 36Let the foodH400 becomeH1961 as a reserveH6487 for the landH776 for the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 whichH834 will occurH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so that the landH776 will not perishH3772 during the famineH7458.”

37Now the 4proposalH1697 seemedH3190 goodH3190 5to PharaohH6547 and 6to allH3605 his servantsH5650. 38Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “Can we findH4672 a manH376 like thisH2088, 7in whomH834 is a divineH430 spiritH7307?” 39So PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “SinceH310 GodH430 has informedH3045 you of allH3605 thisH2088, thereH369 is noH369 oneH369 so 8discerningH995 and wiseH2450 as you are. 409You shall be overH5921 my houseH1004, and accordingH5921 to your 10commandH6310 allH3605 my peopleH5971 shall 11doH5401 homageH5401; onlyH7534 in the throneH3678 I will be greaterH1431 thanH4480 you.” 41PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “SeeH7200, I have setH5414 you 12overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 42Then PharaohH6547 13tookH5493 offH5493 his signetH2885 ringH2885 from his handH3027 and putH5414 it on Joseph’sH3130 handH3027, and clothedH3847 him in garmentsH899 of fineH8336 linenH8336 and 14putH7760 the goldH2091 necklaceH7242 aroundH5921 his neckH6677. 43He had him rideH7392 in 15his secondH4932 chariotH4818; and they proclaimedH7121 beforeH6440 him, “16BowH86 the kneeH86!” And he setH5414 him overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 44Moreover, PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “Though I am PharaohH6547, yet 17withoutH1107 18your permission noH3808 oneH376 shall raiseH7311 his handH3027 or footH7272 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 45Then PharaohH6547 namedH7121H8034 JosephH3130 19Zaphenath-paneahH6847; and he gaveH5414 him AsenathH621, the daughterH1323 of PotipheraH6319 priestH3548 of 2021OnH204, as his wifeH802. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 forthH3318 overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

46Now JosephH3130 was 22thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he 23stoodH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 out from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547 and wentH5674 throughH5674 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 47During the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of plentyH7647 the landH776 broughtH6213 forthH6213 24abundantlyH7062. 48So he gatheredH6908 allH3605 the foodH400 of these sevenH7651 yearsH8141 whichH834 occurredH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and placedH5414 the foodH400 in the citiesH5892; he placedH5414 in every cityH5892 the foodH400 from its own surroundingH5439 fieldsH7704. 49Thus JosephH3130 storedH6651 up grainH1250 25in greatH3966 abundanceH3966 like the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, untilH5704H3588 he stoppedH2308 26measuringH5608 it, for it was 27beyondH369 measureH4557.

50Now beforeH2962 the yearH8141 of famineH7458 cameH935, 28twoH8147 sonsH1121 were bornH3205 to JosephH3130, whomH834 AsenathH621, the daughterH1323 of PotipheraH6319 priestH3548 of 29OnH204, boreH3205 to him. 51JosephH3130 namedH7121H8034 the firstbornH1060 30ManassehH4519, “For,” he said, “GodH430 has made me forgetH5382 allH3605 my troubleH5999 and allH3605 my father’sH1 householdH1004.” 52He namedH7121H8034 the secondH8145 31EphraimH669, “For,” he said, “32GodH430 has madeH6509 me fruitfulH6509 in the landH776 of my afflictionH6040.”

53When the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of plentyH7647 whichH834 had beenH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 cameH3615 to an endH3615, 54and 33the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 beganH2490 to comeH935, justH3512 as JosephH3130 had saidH559, then there was famineH7458 in allH3605 the landsH776, but in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 there was breadH3899. 55So when allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 was famishedH7456, the peopleH5971 criedH6817 out to PharaohH6547 for breadH3899; and PharaohH6547 saidH559 to allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714, “GoH1980 to JosephH3130; 34whateverH834 he saysH559 to you, you shall doH6213.” 56When the famineH7458 was spread overH5921 allH3605 the faceH6440 of the earthH776, then JosephH3130 openedH6605 allH3605 35the storehousesH834, and soldH7666 to the EgyptiansH4714; and the famineH7458 was severeH2388 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 57The people of allH3605 the earthH776 cameH935 to EgyptH4714 to buyH7666 grainH7666 from JosephH3130, becauseH3588 36the famineH7458 was severeH2388 in allH3605 the earthH776.
