Genesis 41:25-49

25And JosephH3130 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is oneH259: GodH430 hath showedH5046 PharaohH6547 what he is about to doH6213. 26The sevenH7651 goodH2896 cowsH6510 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is oneH259. 27And the sevenH7651 thinH7534 and ill favouredH7451 cowsH6510 that came upH5927 after themH310 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641 blightedH7710 with the east windH6921 shall be sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458. 28This is the thingH1697 which I have spokenH1696 to PharaohH6547: What GodH430 is about to doH6213 he showethH7200 to PharaohH6547. 29Behold, there comeH935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 plentyH7647 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 30And there shall ariseH6965 after themH310 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; and all the plentyH7647 shall be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the famineH7458 shall consumeH3615 the landH776; 31And the plentyH7647 shall not be knownH3045 in the landH776 by reasonH6440 of the famineH7458 followingH310H3651; for it shall be veryH3966 grievousH3515.1 32And for that the dreamH2472 was doubledH8138 to PharaohH6547 twiceH6471; it is because the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 byH5973 GodH430, and GodH430 will shortlyH4116 bring it to passH6213.2

33Now therefore let PharaohH6547 look outH7200 a manH376 discreetH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and let him appointH6485 officersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth partH2567 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141.3 35And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of those goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 grainH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and let them keepH8104 foodH400 in the citiesH5892. 36And that foodH400 shall be for reserveH6487 for the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 may not perishH3772 through the famineH7458.4 37And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650. 38And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, Can we findH4672 such a man as thisH2088 is, a manH376 in whomH834 the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 is ? 39And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, ForasmuchH310 as GodH430 hath shownH3045 thee all this, there is none so discreetH995 and wiseH2450 as thou art : 40Thou shalt beH1961 over my houseH1004, and according to thy wordH6310 shall all my peopleH5971 be ruledH5401: only in the throneH3678 will I be greaterH1431 than thou.5 41And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, SeeH7200, I have setH5414 thee over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 42And PharaohH6547 took offH5493 his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and putH5414 it upon Joseph’sH3130 handH3027, and arrayedH3847 him in vesturesH899 of fine linenH8336, and putH7760 a goldH2091 chainH7242 about his neckH6677;6 43And he made him to rideH7392 in the secondH4932 chariotH4818 which he had; and they criedH7121 before himH6440, Bow the kneeH86: and he madeH5414 him ruler over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.7 44And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, I am PharaohH6547, and withoutH1107 thee shall no manH376 lift upH7311 his handH3027 or footH7272 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 45And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 Joseph’sH3130 nameH8034 ZaphnathpaaneahH6847; and he gaveH5414 him for a wifeH802 AsenathH621 the daughterH1323 of PotipherahH6319 priestH3548 of OnH204. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.89

46And JosephH3130wasthirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. And JosephH3130 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547, and went throughoutH5674 all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 47And in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141 the earthH776 brought forthH6213 by handfulsH7062. 48And he gatheredH6908 all the foodH400 of the sevenH7651 yearsH8141, which were in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid upH5414 the foodH400 in the citiesH5892: the foodH400 of the fieldH7704, which was surroundingH5439 every cityH5892, he laid upH5414 in the sameH8432. 49And JosephH3130 gatheredH6651 grainH1250 as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, veryH3966 muchH7235, until he finishedH2308 numberingH5608; for it was withoutH369 numberH4557.
