Genesis 41

CLV(i) 1 And coming is it at the end of two years to a day that Pharaoh dreams and, behold! Standing is he at the waterway. 2 And, behold! From the waterway are coming up seven young cows, lovely in appearance and plump of flesh. And grazing are they in the marsh grass. 3 And, behold! Seven other young cows are coming up after them from the waterway, evil in appearance and thin of flesh. And standing are they beside the young cows on the shore of the waterway. 4 And eating are the seven young cows, evil in appearance and thin of flesh, the seven young cows, lovely in appearance and plump. And waking is Pharaoh. 5 And sleeping is he and dreaming a second time. And, behold! Seven spikes are coming up on one reed, plump and good. 6 And behold! Seven other spikes, thin and blasted by the burning east wind are sprouting after them. 7 And up are swallowing the seven spikes, thin and blasted by the east wind, the seven plump and full spikes. And waking is Pharaoh. And, behold! A dream was it. 8 And coming is it in the morning that agitated is his spirit, and sending is he and calling all the sacred scribes of Egypt and all the wise men. And relating is Pharaoh to them his dream. Yet no one is there to interpret it for Pharaoh. 9 And speaking is the chief of the cupbearers to Pharaoh, saying, "Of my sin am I reminded today. 10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and gave us in ward in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers. 11 And dreaming are we a dream in the same night, I and he. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream. 12 And there with us was a Hebrew lad, a servant of the chief of the executioners. And we related them to him and he is interpreting for us our dreams. For each man, according to his dream, he interpreted. 13 And coming is it that, as he interpreted to us, so it comes to be. Me he restores to my post, and him he hanged. 14 And sending is Pharaoh and calling Joseph. And running him are they from the cistern. And shaving is he and changing his garments, and coming to Pharaoh. 15 And saying is Pharaoh to Joseph, "A dream I dream, and there is no one to interpret it. And I hear say of you, that you, hearing a dream, interpret it. 16 And answering Pharaoh is Joseph saying, "Apart from the Elohim there is no answer for the welfare of Pharaoh. 17 And speaking is Pharaoh to Joseph saying, "In my dream, behold me standing on the shore of the waterway. 18 And behold! From the waterway are coming up seven young cows, plump of flesh and lovely in shape. And grazing are they in the marsh grass. 19 And, behold! Seven other young cows are coming up from the waterway after them, poor and exceedingly evil in shape, and emaciated of flesh. Not seen have I such as they in all the land of Egypt, so evil. 20 And eating are the seven emaciated and evil young cows the first seven lovely and plump young cows, 21 and coming are they into their inwards, yet not known is it that they come into their inwards, and their appearance is evil, as at the start. And awaking am I. 22 And I sleep and am seeing again in my dream, and, behold! Seven spikes are coming up on one reed, full and good. 23 And, behold! Seven other spikes, puny, thin, and blasted by the burning east wind, sprouting after them. 24 And swallowing up are the seven thin spikes. And stating this am I to the sacred scribes, and there is no one telling me what it is. 25 And saying is Joseph to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh, one is it. What the Elohim will be doing He tells to Pharaoh. 26 The seven good young cows, seven years are they; and the seven good spikes, seven years are they. The dream of Pharaoh, one is it. 27 And the seven emaciated and evil young cows coming up after them, seven years are they. And the seven empty spikes, blasted by the burning east wind, are coming to be seven years of famine. 28 It is the word which I speak to Pharaoh: What the Elohim will do He shows to Pharaoh. 29 Behold! Seven years are coming of great satisfaction in all the land of Egypt. 30 Yet rise will seven years of famine after them. And forgotten will be all the satisfaction in all the land of Egypt, and finish will the famine the land. 31 And not known shall be the satisfaction in the land, in view of the famine that is afterward, for heavy will it be exceedingly. 32 And on account of the repetition of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it is that the matter is established with the Elohim. And the Elohim will hasten His doing of it. 33 And now, see will Pharaoh to a man of understanding and wisdom, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Doing this will Pharaoh, and he will give the supervision to supervisors over the land and a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt will they take in the seven years of satisfaction. 35 And get together shall they all the food of these seven coming good years, and heap up cereals under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and keep it. 36 And the food shall come to be supervised in the land for the seven years of the famine which shall come to be in the land of Egypt, and so the land shall not be cut off by the famine. 37 And good is the matter in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 And saying is Pharaoh to his servants, "Find will we one as this man, who has the spirit of the Elohim in him? 39 And saying is Pharaoh to Joseph, "After the Elohim has made known to you all this, there is no one as understanding and wise as you. 40 You shall be over my household, and at your bidding all my people shall bear weapons. But on the throne will I be greater than you. 41 And saying is Pharaoh to Joseph, "See! Given you have I today to be over all the land of Egypt. 42 And taking off from his hand his ring is Pharaoh, and is putting it on the hand of Joseph. And clothing him is he in garments of cambric sheen, and is placing a knitted collar of gold on his neck, 43 and is having him ride in the second chariot which he has. And calling are they before him, "Kneel!"And he gives him to be over all the land of Egypt. 44 And saying is Pharaoh to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and apart from you shall no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt. 45 And calling is Pharaoh Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah. And giving him is he Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, for a wife. And forth is Joseph faring over the land of Egypt. 46 And Joseph is thirty years old when he stands before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And forth is Joseph faring from the face of Pharaoh, and passing through all the land of Egypt. 47 And yielding is the land in the seven years of satisfaction, by fistfuls. 48 And getting together is he all the food of the seven years of satisfaction which come to be in the land of Egypt. And bestowing is he the food in the cities. The food of the field of the city which surrounds it, he bestows in its midst. 49 And heaping up is Joseph cereals as the sand of the sea, multiplied exceedingly furthermore, so that he leaves off numbering, for there is no numbering it. 50 And to Joseph are born two sons, ere the seven famine years are coming, whom Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bears for him. 51 And calling is Joseph the name of the firstborn Manasseh, for "the Elohim makes me oblivious of all my toil and all my father's household. 52 And the name of the second he calls Ephraim, for "the Elohim makes me fruitful in the land of my humiliation. 53 And concluding are the seven years of satisfaction, which come to be in the land of Egypt, 54 and starting to come are the seven years of famine, as Joseph had said. And coming is the famine in all the lands, yet in all the land of Egypt there comes to be bread. 55 When famishing is all the land of Egypt, then crying are the people to Pharaoh for bread. And saying is Pharaoh to all Egypt, "Go to Joseph, and what he will say to you, be doing. 56 And the famine comes to be on the surface of all the earth. And opening is Joseph all the cereal stores which are among them, and is retailing to all Egypt. And the famine is holding fast in the land of Egypt. 57 And all lands come to Egypt to Joseph to purchase, for fast is the famine holding in all the earth.
