Revised Version 1895

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7093 of two fullH3117 yearsH8141, that PharaohH6547 dreamedH2492: and, beholdH2009, he stoodH5975 by the riverH2975. 2And, beholdH2009, there cameH5927 upH5927 outH4480 of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 kine, well favoured and fatfleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass. 3And, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 otherH312 kine cameH5927 upH5927 afterH310 them outH4480 of the riverH2975, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stoodH5975 by the otherH312 kine uponH5921 the brink of the riverH2975. 4And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eatH398 upH853 the sevenH7651 well favoured and fatH1277 kine. SoH853 PharaohH6547 awokeH3364. 5And he sleptH3462 and dreamedH2492 a secondH8145 time: and, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641 of corn cameH5927 upH5927 upon one stalkH7070, rank and goodH2896. 6And, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641, thinH1851 and blasted with the eastH6921 windH6921, sprungH6779 upH6779 afterH310 them. 7And the thinH1851 earsH7641 swallowedH1104 upH1104 the sevenH7651 rank and fullH4392 earsH7641. And PharaohH6547 awokeH3364, and, beholdH2009, it was a dreamH2472. 8And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the morningH1242 that his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470; and he sentH7971 and calledH7121 for allH3605 the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, and allH3605 the wiseH2450 menH2450 thereof: and PharaohH6547 toldH5608 them his dreamH2472; but there was noneH369 that could interpretH6622 them unto PharaohH6547. 9Then spake the chiefH8269 butler unto PharaohH6547, sayingH559, I doH589 rememberH2142 my faults this dayH3117: 10PharaohH6547 was wroth with his servantsH5650, and putH5414 meH5414 in ward in the houseH1004 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876, meH5414 and the chiefH8269 bakerH644: 11and weH589 dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 in one nightH3915, I and he; weH589 dreamedH2492 eachH376 manH376 accordingH376 to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472. 12And there was with usH5608 there a youngH5288 manH376, an HebrewH5680, servantH5650 to the captainH8269 of the guardH2876; and weH8033 toldH5608 him, and he interpretedH6622 to usH5608 our dreamsH2472; to eachH376 manH376 accordingH376 to his dreamH2472 he didH376 interpretH6622. 13And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as he interpretedH6622 to usH5921, soH3651 it was; meH7725 he restoredH7725 unto mine office, and him he hangedH8518. 14Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 and calledH7121 JosephH3130, and they broughtH935 him hastily outH4480 of the dungeon: and he shavedH1548 himselfH413, and changedH2498 his raiment, and cameH935 in unto PharaohH6547. 15And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is noneH369 that canH369 interpretH6622 it: and I have heardH8085 sayH559 of thee, that when thou hearest a dreamH2472 thou canst interpretH6622 it. 16And JosephH3130 answeredH559 PharaohH6547, sayingH559, It is not in meH6030: GodH430 shall giveH6030 PharaohH6547 an answerH6030 of peaceH7965. 17And PharaohH6547 spake unto JosephH3130, In my dreamH2472, beholdH2005, I stoodH5975 uponH5921 the brink of the riverH2975: 18and, beholdH2009, there cameH5927 upH5927 outH4480 of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass: 19and, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 otherH312 kine cameH5927 upH5927 afterH310 them, poor and veryH3966 ill favoured and leanfleshed, suchH3605 as I neverH3808 sawH7200 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for badness: 20and the leanH7534 and ill favoured kine did eatH398 upH853 the firstH7223 sevenH7651 fatH1277 kine: 21and when they had eaten them upH935, it could notH3808 be knownH3045 that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginningH8462. SoH3808 I awokeH3364. 22And I sawH7200 in my dreamH2472, and, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641 cameH5927 upH5927 uponH7200 one stalkH7070, fullH4392 and goodH2896: 23and, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641, witheredH6798, thinH1851, and blasted with the eastH6921 windH6921, sprungH6779 upH6779 afterH310 them: 24and the thinH1851 earsH7641 swallowedH1104 upH1104 the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641: and I toldH5046 it unto the magiciansH2748; but there was noneH369 that could declareH5046 it to meH413. 25And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is one: whatH834 GodH430 is aboutH413 to doH6213 he hath declaredH5046 unto PharaohH6547. 26The sevenH7651 goodH2896 kine are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is one. 27And the sevenH7651 leanH7534 and ill favoured kine that cameH1961 upH5927 afterH310 them are sevenH7651 yearsH8141, and also the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641 blasted with the eastH6921 windH6921; they shall be sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458. 28That is the thingH1697 whichH834 I spake unto PharaohH6547: whatH834 GodH430 is aboutH413 to doH6213 he hath shewed unto PharaohH6547. 29BeholdH2009, there comeH935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 plentyH7647 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 30and there shall ariseH6965 afterH310 them sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; and allH3605 the plentyH7647 shall be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the famineH7458 shall consumeH3615 the landH776; 31and the plentyH7647 shall notH3808 be knownH3045 in the landH776 by reasonH3651 of that famineH7458 whichH1931 followeth; for it shall be veryH3966 grievousH3515. 32And for that the dreamH2472 was doubled unto PharaohH6547 twiceH6471, it is becauseH3588 the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 by GodH430, and GodH430 will shortly bringH4116 it to pass. 33NowH6258 therefore letH6258 PharaohH6547 lookH7200 outH5921 a manH376 discreet and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34LetH6485 PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and letH6485 him appointH6485 overseersH6496 over the landH776, and takeH6485 upH5921 the fifthH2567 partH5921 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteous yearsH8141. 35And let them gatherH6908 allH3605 the foodH400 of theseH428 goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 corn underH8478 the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 for foodH400 in the citiesH5892, and let them keepH8104 it. 36And the foodH400 shall be for a store to the landH776 againstH4714 the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, whichH834 shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 notH3808 throughH776 the famineH7458. 37And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of allH3605 his servantsH5650. 38And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, CanH834 weH834 findH4672 suchH2088 a one as this, a manH376 in whomH834 the spiritH7307 of GodH430 is? 39And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Forasmuch as GodH430 hath shewed thee allH3605 this, there is noneH369 soH3644 discreet and wiseH2450 as thou: 40thou shalt be over my houseH1004, and accordingH5921 unto thy wordH6310 shall allH3605 my peopleH5971 be ruled: onlyH7535 in the throneH3678 will I be greaterH1431 thanH4480 thou. 41And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, SeeH7200, I have setH5414 thee over allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 42And PharaohH6547 tookH5493 offH5921 his signetH2885 ringH2885 from his handH3027, and putH5414 it uponH5921 Joseph’sH3130 handH3027, and arrayedH3847 him in vestures of fineH8336 linenH8336, and putH5414 a goldH2091 chainH7242 aboutH5921 his neckH6677; 43and he madeH5414 him to rideH7392 in the secondH4932 chariotH4818 whichH834 he had; and they criedH7121 beforeH6440 him, BowH86 the kneeH86: and he setH5414 him over allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 44And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I am PharaohH6547, and withoutH3808 thee shall noH3808 manH376 liftH7311 upH7311 his handH3027 or his footH7272 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 45And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 Joseph’sH3130 nameH8034 Zaphenath-paneahH6847; and he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 AsenathH621 the daughterH1323 of Poti-phera priestH3548 of On. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 outH3318 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 46And JosephH3130 was thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547, and wentH3318 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 47And in the sevenH7651 plenteous yearsH8141 the earthH776 broughtH6213 forth by handfuls. 48And he gatheredH6908 upH5414 allH3605 the foodH400 of the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 whichH834 were in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laidH5414 upH5414 the foodH400 in the citiesH5892: the foodH400 of the fieldH7704, whichH834 was roundH5439 aboutH1961 everyH3605 cityH5892, laidH5414 he upH5414 in the sameH853. 49And JosephH3130 laid upH5704 corn as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, veryH3966 muchH7235, untilH5704 he left numberingH4557; for it was withoutH369 numberH4557. 50And unto JosephH3130 were bornH3205 twoH8147 sonsH1121 beforeH2962 the yearH8141 of famineH7458 cameH935, whichH834 AsenathH621 the daughterH1323 of Poti-phera priestH3548 of On bare unto him. 51And JosephH3130 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the firstbornH1060 ManassehH4519: For, said he, GodH430 hath madeH7121 meH7121 forgetH5382 allH3605 my toilH5999, and allH3605 my father’sH1 houseH1004. 52And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 calledH7121 he EphraimH669: For GodH430 hath madeH6509 meH7121 fruitfulH6509 in the landH776 of my affliction. 53And the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of plentyH7647, that was in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, cameH1961 to an endH3615. 54And the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 beganH2490 to comeH935, according as JosephH3130 had saidH559: and there was famineH7458 in allH3605 landsH776; but in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 there was breadH3899. 55And when allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 was famishedH7456, the peopleH5971 criedH6817 to PharaohH6547 for breadH3899: and PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714, Go unto JosephH3130; whatH834 he saith to youH834, doH6213. 56And the famineH7458 was over allH3605 the faceH6440 of the earthH776: and JosephH3130 openedH6605 allH3605 the storehousesH834, and soldH7666 unto the EgyptiansH4714; and the famineH7458 was sore in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 57And allH3605 countriesH776 cameH935 intoH413 EgyptH4714 to JosephH3130 for to buyH7666 corn; becauseH3588 the famineH7458 was sore in allH3605 the earthH776.
