26 Pharaóhs dreames are expounded by Ioſeph. 40 He is made ruler ouer all Egypt 51 He hathe two ſonnes: Manaſſeh and Ephraim. 54 The famine beginneth throughout the worlde.
3.And lo, ſeuen other kine came vp after them out of the riuer, euilfauoured and leane fleſhed, and ſtode by the other kine vpon the brinke of the riuer.
4.And the euilfauoured and leane fleſhed kine did eat vp the ſeuen welfauoured & fat kine: ſo Pharaóh awoke.
6.And lo, ſeué thinne eares, & blaſted with the Eaſt winde, ſprang vp after them:
7.And the thinne eares deuoured the ſeué ranke and ful eares. then Pharaóh awaked, and lo, it was a dreame.
10.Pharaóh being angry with his ſeruantes, put me in warde in the chief ſtuardes houſe, bothe me and the chief baker.
11.Thẽ we dreamed a dreame in one night, bothe I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretacion of his dreame.
13.And as he declared vnto vs, ſo it came to paſſe: for he reſtored me to mine office, and hanged him.
15.Then Pharaóh ſaid to Ioſeph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interpret it, and I haue heard ſay of thee, that when thou heareſt a dreame, thou canſt interpret it.
17.And Pharaóh ſaid vnto Ioſeph, In my dreame, beholde, I ſtode by the banke of the riuer:
18.And lo, there came vp out of yͤ riuer ſeuë fatfleſhed, and welfauoured kine, and thei fed in the medow.
20.And the leane and euilfauoured kine did eat vp the firſt ſeuen fat kine.
22.Moreouer I ſawe in my dreame, and beholde, ſeuen eares ſprang out of one ſtalke, ful and faire.
23.And lo, ſeuen eares, withered, thinne, and blaſted with the Eaſt winde, ſprang vp after them.
24.And the thinne eares deuoured the ſeuen good eares. Now I haue tolde the ſotheſaiers, and none can declare it vnto me.
26.The ſeuen good kine are ſeuen yeres, & the ſeuen good eares are ſeuen yeres: this is one dreame.
27.Likewiſe the ſeuen thinne and euil fauoured kine, that came out after them, are ſeuen yeres: and the ſeuen emptie cares blaſted with the Eaſt winde are ſeuen yeres of famine.
28.This is the thing, which I haue ſaid vnto Pharaóh, that God hathe ſhewed vnto Pharaóh, what he is aboute to do.
29.Beholde, there come ſeuen yeres of gre- at h plentie in all the land of Egypt.
30.Againe, there ſhal ariſe after them ſe- uen yeres of famine, ſo that all the plentie ſhalbe forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine ſhal conſume the land:
32.And therefore the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaóh the ſecond time, becauſe the thing is eſtabliſhed by God, & God haſteth to performe it.
34.Let Pharaóh make and appoint officers ouer the land, and take vp the fifte paite of ỹ lãd of Egypt in ỹ ſeuen plenteous yeres.
35.Alſo let them gather all the fode of the- ſe good yeres that come, and lay vp cor- ne vnder the hand of Pharaóh for fode, in the cities, and let them kepe it.
36.So the fode ſhalbe for the prouiſion of the land, againſt the ſeuen yeres of fami- ne, which ſhalbe in the land of Egypt, that the land periſh not by famine.
37.¶ And ỹ ſaying pleaſed Pharaóh and all his ſeruants.
39.Thẽ Pharaóh ſaid to Ioſeph, For as muche as God hathe ſhewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderſtanding, or of wiſdome like vnto thee.
41.Moreouer Pharaóh ſaid to Ioſeph, Be- holde, I haue ſet thee ouer all the land of Egypt.
44.Againe Pharaóh ſaid vnto Ioſeph, I am Pharaóh; & without thee ſhal no man lift vp his hand or his fote in all the land of Egypt.
48.And he gathered vp all the fode of the ſeuen plenteous yeres, which were in the land of Egypt, and layed vp fode in the cities: the fode of the feild, that was roũd about euery citie, layed he vp in the ſame.
49.So Ioſeph gathered wheat, like vnto the ſand of ỹ ſea in multitude out of meaſu- re, vntil he left nombring: for it was with- out nombre.
52.Alſo he called the name of the ſecon- de Ephráim: for God, ſaid he, hathe made me fruteful in the land of mine afflictio.
53.¶ So the ſeuen yeres of the plentie that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
55.At the length all the land of Egypt was affamiſhed and the people cryed to Pha- raóh for bread. And Pharaóh ſaid vnto all the Egyptians, Go to Ioſeph: what he ſaith to you, do ye.
56.When the famine was vpon all the lãd, Ioſeph opened all places, wherein the ſtore was and ſolde vnto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed ſore in the land of Egypt.
