Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:1 - Now it happened H1961 at the end H7093 of two full H3117 years H8141 that Pharaoh H6547 had H2492 a dream, H2492 and behold, H2009 he was standing H5975 by the Nile. H2975
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:2 - And lo, H2009 from the Nile H2975 there came H5927 up seven H7651 cows, H6510 sleek H3303 and [fn]fat; H1277 and they grazed H7462 in the marsh H260 grass. H260
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:3 - Then behold, H2009 seven H7651 other H312 cows H6510 came H5927 up after H310 them from the Nile, H2975 ugly H7451 and [fn]gaunt, H1851 H1320 and they stood H5975 by the other cows H6510 on the bank H8193 of the Nile. H2975
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:4 - The ugly H7451 and [fn]gaunt H1851 H1320 cows H6510 ate H398 up the seven H7651 sleek H3303 and fat H1277 cows. H6510 Then Pharaoh H6547 awoke. H3364
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:5 - He fell H3462 asleep H3462 and dreamed H2492 a second H8145 time; H8145 and behold, H2009 seven H7651 ears H7641 of grain H7641 came H5927 up on a single H259 stalk, H7070 plump H1277 and good. H2896
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:6 - Then behold, H2009 seven H7651 ears, H7641 thin H1851 and scorched H7710 by the east H6921 wind, H6921 sprouted H6779 up after H310 them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:7 - The thin H1851 ears H7641 swallowed H1104 up the seven H7651 plump H1277 and full H4392 ears. H7641 Then Pharaoh H6547 awoke, H3364 and behold, H2009 it was a dream. H2472
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:8 - Now in the morning H1242 his spirit H7307 was troubled, H6470 so he sent H7971 and called H7121 for all H3605 the [fn]magicians H2748 of Egypt, H4714 and all H3605 its wise H2450 men. H2450 And Pharaoh H6547 told H5608 them his [fn]dreams, H2472 but there H369 was no H369 one H369 who could interpret H6622 them to Pharaoh. H6547
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:9 - Then the chief H8269 cupbearer H4945 spoke H1696 to Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559 “I would make mention H2142 today H3117 of my own [fn]offenses. H2399
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - “Pharaoh H6547 was furious H7107 with his servants, H5650 and he put H5414 me in confinement H4929 in the house H1004 of the captain H8269 of the bodyguard, H2876 both me and the chief H8269 baker. H644
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:11 - “We had H2492 a dream H2472 [fn]on the same H259 night, H3915 [fn]he and I; each H376 of us dreamed H2492 according to the interpretation H6623 of his own dream. H2472
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:12 - “Now a Hebrew H5680 youth H5288 was with us there, H8033 a servant H5650 of the captain H8269 of the bodyguard, H2876 and we related H5608 them to him, and he interpreted H6622 our dreams H2472 for us. To each H376 one H376 he interpreted H6622 according to his own dream. H2472
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:13 - “And just H834 as he interpreted H6622 for us, so H3651 it happened; H1961 he restored H7725 me in my [fn]office, H3653 but he hanged H8518 him.”

Joseph Interprets

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - Then Pharaoh H6547 sent H7971 and called H7121 for Joseph, H3130 and they hurriedly H7323 brought H7323 him out of the dungeon; H953 and when he had shaved H1548 himself and changed H2498 his clothes, H8071 he came H935 to Pharaoh. H6547
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:15 - Pharaoh H6547 said H559 to Joseph, H3130 “I have had H2492 a dream, H2472 but no H369 one H369 can interpret H6622 it; and I have heard H8085 [fn]it said H559 about H5921 you, that [fn]when you hear H8085 a dream H2472 you can interpret H6622 it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:16 - Joseph H3130 then answered H6030 Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559[fn]It is not in me; God H430 will [fn]give H6030 Pharaoh H6547 a favorable H7965 answer.” H6030
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - So Pharaoh H6547 spoke H1696 to Joseph, H3130 “In my dream, H2472 behold, H2009 I was standing H5975 on the bank H8193 of the Nile; H2975
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:18 - and behold, H2009 seven H7651 cows, H6510 [fn]fat H1277 and sleek H3303 came H5927 up out of the Nile, H2975 and they grazed H7462 in the marsh H260 grass. H260
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:19 - “Lo, H2009 seven H7651 other H312 cows H6510 came H5927 up after H310 them, poor H1800 and very H3966 ugly H7451 and [fn]gaunt, H7534 H1320 such H2007 as I had never H3808 seen H7200 for [fn]ugliness H7455 in all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt; H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:20 - and the lean H7534 and [fn]ugly H7451 cows H6510 ate H398 up the first H7223 seven H7651 fat H1277 cows. H6510
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:21 - “Yet when they had [fn]devoured H935 H7130 them, it could not be [fn]detected H3045 that they had [fn]devoured H935 H7130 them, [fn]for they were just H834 as ugly H7451 as [fn]before. H8462 Then I awoke. H3364
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:22 - “I saw H7200 also in my dream, H2472 and behold, H2009 seven H7651 ears, H7641 full H4392 and good, H2896 came H5927 up on a single H259 stalk; H7070
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:23 - and lo, H2009 seven H7651 ears, H7641 withered, H6798 thin, H1851 and scorched H7710 by the east H6921 wind, H6921 sprouted H6779 up after H310 them;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:24 - and the thin H1851 ears H7641 swallowed H1104 the seven H7651 good H2896 ears. H7641 Then I told H559 it to the [fn]magicians, H2748 but there H369 was no H369 one H369 who could explain H5046 it to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:25 - Now Joseph H3130 said H559 to Pharaoh, H6547 “Pharaoh’s H6547 [fn]dreams H2472 are one H259 and the same; God H430 has told H5046 to Pharaoh H6547 what H853 H834 He is about to do. H6213
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:26 - “The seven H7651 good H2896 cows H6510 are seven H7651 years; H8141 and the seven H7651 good H2896 ears H7641 are seven H7651 years; H8141 the [fn]dreams H2472 are one H259 and the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:27 - “The seven H7651 lean H7534 and ugly H7451 cows H6510 that came H5927 up after H310 them are seven H7651 years, H8141 and the seven H7651 thin H7534 ears H7641 scorched H7710 by the east H6921 wind H6921 will be seven H7651 years H8141 of famine. H7458
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:28 - [fn]It is as I have spoken H1696 to Pharaoh: H6547 God H430 has shown H7200 to Pharaoh H6547 what H834 He is about to do. H6213
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:29 - “Behold, H2009 seven H7651 years H8141 of great H1419 abundance H7647 are coming H935 in all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt; H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - and after H310 them seven H7651 years H8141 of famine H7458 will [fn]come, H6965 and all H3605 the abundance H7647 will be forgotten H7911 in the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and the famine H7458 will [fn]ravage H3615 the land. H776
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:31 - “So the abundance H7647 will be unknown H3045 H3808 in the land H776 because H4480 H6440 of that subsequent H310 famine; H7458 for it will be very H3966 severe. H3515
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:32 - “Now as for the repeating H8138 of the dream H2472 to Pharaoh H6547 twice, H6471 it means that the matter H1697 is determined H3559 by God, H430 and God H430 will quickly H4116 bring H6213 it about. H6213
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:33 - “Now H6258 let Pharaoh H6547 look H7200 for a man H376 discerning H995 and wise, H2450 and set H7896 him over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:34 - “Let Pharaoh H6547 take H6213 action H6213 to appoint H6485 overseers H6496 [fn]in charge H5921 of the land, H776 and let him exact H2567 a fifth H2567 of the produce of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 in the seven H7651 years H8141 of abundance. H7647
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:35 - “Then let them gather H6908 all H3605 the food H3978 of these H428 good H2896 years H8141 that are coming, H935 and store H6651 up the grain H1250 for food H400 in the cities H5892 under H8478 Pharaoh’s H6547 authority, H3027 and let them guard H8104 it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:36 - “Let the food H400 become H1961 as a reserve H6487 for the land H776 for the seven H7651 years H8141 of famine H7458 which H834 will occur H1961 in the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 so that the land H776 will not perish H3772 during the famine.” H7458
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:37 - Now the [fn]proposal H1697 seemed H3190 good H3190 [fn]to Pharaoh H6547 and [fn]to all H3605 his servants. H5650

Joseph Is Made a Ruler of Egypt

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:38 - Then Pharaoh H6547 said H559 to his servants, H5650 “Can we find H4672 a man H376 like this, H2088 in whom H834 is a divine H430 spirit?” H7307
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:39 - So Pharaoh H6547 said H559 to Joseph, H3130 “Since H310 God H430 has informed H3045 you of all H3605 this, H2088 there H369 is no H369 one H369 so discerning H995 and wise H2450 as you are.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:40 - “You shall be over H5921 my house, H1004 and according H5921 to your [fn]command H6310 all H3605 my people H5971 shall [fn]do H5401 homage; H5401 only H7534 in the throne H3678 I will be greater H1431 than H4480 you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:41 - Pharaoh H6547 said H559 to Joseph, H3130 “See, H7200 I have set H5414 you over H5921 all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt.” H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:42 - Then Pharaoh H6547 took H5493 off H5493 his signet H2885 ring H2885 from his hand H3027 and put H5414 it on Joseph’s H3130 hand, H3027 and clothed H3847 him in garments H899 of fine H8336 linen H8336 and put H7760 the gold H2091 necklace H7242 around H5921 his neck. H6677
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:43 - He had him ride H7392 in [fn]his second H4932 chariot; H4818 and they proclaimed H7121 before H6440 him, “[fn]Bow H86 the knee!” H86 And he set H5414 him over H5921 all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - Moreover, Pharaoh H6547 said H559 to Joseph, H3130Though I am Pharaoh, H6547 yet without H1107 [fn]your permission no H3808 one H376 shall raise H7311 his hand H3027 or foot H7272 in all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt.” H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:45 - Then Pharaoh H6547 named H7121 H8034 Joseph H3130 [fn]Zaphenath-paneah; H6847 and he gave H5414 him Asenath, H621 the daughter H1323 of Potiphera H6319 priest H3548 of [fn]On, H204 as his wife. H802 And Joseph H3130 went H3318 forth H3318 over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:46 - Now Joseph H3130 was thirty H7970 years H8141 old H1121 when he [fn]stood H5975 before H6440 Pharaoh, H6547 king H4428 of Egypt. H4714 And Joseph H3130 went H3318 out from the presence H6440 of Pharaoh H6547 and went H5674 through H5674 all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:47 - During the seven H7651 years H8141 of plenty H7647 the land H776 brought H6213 forth H6213 [fn]abundantly. H7062
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:48 - So he gathered H6908 all H3605 the food H400 of these seven H7651 years H8141 which H834 occurred H1961 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 and placed H5414 the food H400 in the cities; H5892 he placed H5414 in every city H5892 the food H400 from its own surrounding H5439 fields. H7704
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:49 - Thus Joseph H3130 stored H6651 up grain H1250 [fn]in great H3966 abundance H3966 like the sand H2344 of the sea, H3220 until H5704 H3588 he stopped H2308 [fn]measuring H5608 it, for it was [fn]beyond H369 measure. H4557

The Sons of Joseph

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:50 - Now before H2962 the year H8141 of famine H7458 came, H935 two H8147 sons H1121 were born H3205 to Joseph, H3130 whom H834 Asenath, H621 the daughter H1323 of Potiphera H6319 priest H3548 of [fn]On, H204 bore H3205 to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:51 - Joseph H3130 named H7121 H8034 the firstborn H1060 [fn]Manasseh, H4519 “For,” he said, “God H430 has made me forget H5382 all H3605 my trouble H5999 and all H3605 my father’s H1 household.” H1004
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:52 - He named H7121 H8034 the second H8145 [fn]Ephraim, H669 “For,” he said, “God H430 has made H6509 me fruitful H6509 in the land H776 of my affliction.” H6040
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:53 - When the seven H7651 years H8141 of plenty H7647 which H834 had been H1961 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 came H3615 to an end, H3615
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - and the seven H7651 years H8141 of famine H7458 began H2490 to come, H935 just H834 as Joseph H3130 had said, H559 then there was famine H7458 in all H3605 the lands, H776 but in all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 there was bread. H3899
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:55 - So when all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 was famished, H7456 the people H5971 cried H6817 out to Pharaoh H6547 for bread; H3899 and Pharaoh H6547 said H559 to all H3605 the Egyptians, H4714 “Go H1980 to Joseph; H3130 whatever H834 he says H559 to you, you shall do.” H6213
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:56 - When the famine H7458 was spread over H5921 all H3605 the face H6440 of the earth, H776 then Joseph H3130 opened H6605 all H3605 [fn]the storehouses, H834 and sold H7666 to the Egyptians; H4714 and the famine H7458 was severe H2388 in the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
