Genesis 41:14-44
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.
