Genesis 41:41-57

41PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “SeeH7200, I have setH5414 you 1overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 42Then PharaohH6547 2tookH5493 offH5493 his signetH2885 ringH2885 from his handH3027 and putH5414 it on Joseph’sH3130 handH3027, and clothedH3847 him in garmentsH899 of fineH8336 linenH8336 and 3putH7760 the goldH2091 necklaceH7242 aroundH5921 his neckH6677. 43He had him rideH7392 in 4his secondH4932 chariotH4818; and they proclaimedH7121 beforeH6440 him, “5BowH86 the kneeH86!” And he setH5414 him overH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 44Moreover, PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “Though I am PharaohH6547, yet 6withoutH1107 7your permission noH3808 oneH376 shall raiseH7311 his handH3027 or footH7272 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.” 45Then PharaohH6547 namedH7121H8034 JosephH3130 8Zaphenath-paneahH6847; and he gaveH5414 him AsenathH621, the daughterH1323 of PotipheraH6319 priestH3548 of 910OnH204, as his wifeH802. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 forthH3318 overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

46Now JosephH3130 was 11thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he 12stoodH5975 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 13abundantlyH7062. 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 14in greatH3966 abundanceH3966 like the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, untilH5704H3588 he stoppedH2308 15measuringH5608 it, for it was 16beyondH369 measureH4557.

50Now beforeH2962 the yearH8141 of famineH7458 cameH935, 17twoH8147 sonsH1121 were bornH3205 to JosephH3130, whomH834 AsenathH621, the daughterH1323 of PotipheraH6319 priestH3548 of 18OnH204, boreH3205 to him. 51JosephH3130 namedH7121H8034 the firstbornH1060 19ManassehH4519, “For,” he said, “GodH430 has made me forgetH5382 allH3605 my troubleH5999 and allH3605 my father’sH1 householdH1004.” 52He namedH7121H8034 the secondH8145 20EphraimH669, “For,” he said, “21GodH430 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 22the 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; 23whateverH834 he saysH559 to you, you shall doH6213.” 56When the famineH7458 was spread overH5921 allH3605 the faceH6440 of the earthH776, then JosephH3130 openedH6605 allH3605 24the 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 25the famineH7458 was severeH2388 in allH3605 the earthH776.
