1.And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
2.And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
3.And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
4.And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
6.And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
7.And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
8.And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
9.Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10.Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker:
11.And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12.And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13.And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
16.And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17.And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18.And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19.And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20.And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
22.And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
24.And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25.And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26.The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27.And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28.This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29.Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30.And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
33.Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
35.And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
37.And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38.And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39.And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
41.And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
44.And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
46.And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47.And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48.And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
49.And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
53.And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54.And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55.And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
57.And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
