Pharaoh's dreams
And at the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. He was standing by the river. And up out of the river came seven cows, in good nick and fat, and they fed in the reeds. And after them seven more cows came up out of the river, poor-looking and skin and bone, and stood beside the others on the bank. And the poor skinny cows ate up the seven fat ones in good nick. And Pharaoh woke up. And he went back to sleep and dreamed a second time. Seven heads of grain came up on the one stalk, full and good. And after them seven thin heads came up, burnt off by the east wind. And the seven thin heads swallowed up the seven full good ones. And Pharaoh woke up, and it had been a dream. And in the morning he was troubled in himself. And he sent and called all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but not one of them could tell him what it meant. Then the head cupbearer spoke up to Pharaoh: I'm remembering today where I went wrong. Pharaoh was filthy on his servants and put me in custody in the house of the head of the guard, me and the head baker. And the two of us dreamed a dream on the one night, each dream with its own meaning. And there was a young Hebrew man there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the meaning of his dream. And it turned out exactly the way he told us. I got put back in my job, and he was hanged. Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they got him up out of the hole in a hurry. And he had a shave and changed his clothes and came in to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: I've had a dream, and there's nobody who can tell me what it means. And I've heard it said of you that you only have to hear a dream to know what it means. And Joseph answered Pharaoh: It's not in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer and set his mind at rest. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: In my dream I was standing on the bank of the river. And up out of the river came seven cows, fat and in good nick, and they fed in the reeds. And after them seven other cows came up, poor, very ugly and thin. I had never seen such bad cattle in all the land of Egypt. And the skinny poor cows ate up the first seven fat ones. And when they'd eaten them, you'd never have known it. They looked as bad as they did to start with. Then I woke up. And I saw in my dream seven heads of grain come up on the one stalk, full and good. And after them seven heads came up, shrivelled and thin and burnt off by the east wind. And the thin heads swallowed up the seven good ones. And I told the magicians, but not one of them could tell me a thing.
And at the end of two full years Pharaoh dreamed. And there he was, standing by the river. And look — seven good-looking, fat cows came up out of the river, and they fed in a meadow. And look — seven other cows came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and thin. And they stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. And the bad-looking thin cows ate up the seven good-looking fat cows. So Pharaoh woke up. And he slept and dreamed a second time. And look — seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good. And look — seven thin heads blasted by the east wind sprang up after them. And the seven thin heads swallowed up the seven plump and full heads. And Pharaoh woke up, and it was a dream. And in the morning his spirit was troubled. And he sent and called all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was nobody who could explain them to Pharaoh. Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh: I remember my faults today. Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker. And we dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. We each dreamed according to the meaning of his dream. And there was a young man with us there, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he explained our dreams to us. He explained to each man according to his dream. And the way he explained it to us, that's how it turned out. He put me back to my place, and he hanged the other. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself and changed his clothes and came in to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: I've dreamed a dream, and there's nobody who can explain it. And I've heard it said about you that you can understand a dream and explain it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh: It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: In my dream, look — I stood on the bank of the river. And look — seven fat, good-looking cows came up out of the river, and they fed in a meadow. And look — seven other cows came up after them, poor and very bad-looking and thin, like I've never seen in all the land of Egypt for badness. And the thin and bad cows ate up the first seven fat cows. And when they'd eaten them up, you couldn't tell they'd eaten them. But they were still bad-looking, the way they were at the start. So I woke up. And I saw in my dream, and look — seven heads came up on one stalk, full and good. And look — seven heads withered, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up after them. And the thin heads swallowed up the seven good heads. And I told this to the magicians, but there was nobody who could tell me what it meant.
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. 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. And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 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. Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: 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: And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. 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. And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: 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: And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: 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.

And the way he explained it to us, that's how it turned out. He put me back to my place, and he hanged the other.
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they got him up out of the hole in a hurry. And he had a shave and changed his clothes and came in to Pharaoh.
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself and changed his clothes and came in to Pharaoh.

And look — seven other cows came up after them, poor and very bad-looking and thin, like I've never seen in all the land of Egypt for badness.
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:
And the skinny poor cows ate up the first seven fat ones.
And the thin and bad cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

Joseph explains
And Joseph said to Pharaoh: Pharaoh's dream is the one dream. God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. It's the one dream. And the seven skinny poor cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven empty heads burnt off by the east wind will be seven years of famine. That's what I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do. Seven years are coming, and there'll be plenty right through the land of Egypt. And after them will come seven years of famine. And all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will eat the country out. And nobody will remember there was plenty, because the famine after it will be that bad. And the dream came to Pharaoh twice over because the thing is settled by God, and God will bring it on before long. So now let Pharaoh look out a man with his head screwed on, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and put officers over the country, and take a fifth of the land of Egypt through the seven good years. And let them gather all the food of the good years coming, and store up grain under Pharaoh's hand, and keep food in the towns. And that food will be put by against the seven years of famine coming on the land of Egypt, so the country doesn't go under in the famine.
And Joseph said to Pharaoh: Pharaoh's dream is one. God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dream is one. And the seven thin and bad cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven empty heads blasted by the east wind will be seven years of famine. This is the thing I've spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do. Look — seven years of great plenty are coming through all the land of Egypt. And after them seven years of famine will get up. And all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will eat up the land. And the plenty won't be known in the land because of that famine to follow. Because it'll be very bad. And because the dream came to Pharaoh twice, it's because the thing is set up by God, and God will bring it about quickly. So let Pharaoh look out for a man with understanding and wisdom now, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him set officers over the land, and take up a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven plenty years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh. And let them keep food in the towns. And that food will be a store for the land against the seven years of famine that'll be in the land of Egypt, so the land doesn't go under from the famine.
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do. The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. 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. This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: 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; And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. 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. And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
And Joseph said to Pharaoh: Pharaoh's dream is the one dream. God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do.
And Joseph said to Pharaoh: Pharaoh's dream is one. God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do.
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. It's the one dream.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dream is one.
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
And the seven skinny poor cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven empty heads burnt off by the east wind will be seven years of famine.
And the seven thin and bad cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven empty heads blasted by the east wind will be seven years of famine.
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.
That's what I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do.
This is the thing I've spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he's about to do.
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
Seven years are coming, and there'll be plenty right through the land of Egypt.
Look — seven years of great plenty are coming through all the land of Egypt.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
And after them will come seven years of famine. And all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will eat the country out.
And after them seven years of famine will get up. And all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will eat up the land.
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;
And nobody will remember there was plenty, because the famine after it will be that bad.
And the plenty won't be known in the land because of that famine to follow. Because it'll be very bad.
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
And the dream came to Pharaoh twice over because the thing is settled by God, and God will bring it on before long.
And because the dream came to Pharaoh twice, it's because the thing is set up by God, and God will bring it about quickly.
And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
So now let Pharaoh look out a man with his head screwed on, and set him over the land of Egypt.
So let Pharaoh look out for a man with understanding and wisdom now, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Let Pharaoh do this, and put officers over the country, and take a fifth of the land of Egypt through the seven good years.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him set officers over the land, and take up a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven plenty years.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
And let them gather all the food of the good years coming, and store up grain under Pharaoh's hand, and keep food in the towns.
And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh. And let them keep food in the towns.
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.
And that food will be put by against the seven years of famine coming on the land of Egypt, so the country doesn't go under in the famine.
And that food will be a store for the land against the seven years of famine that'll be in the land of Egypt, so the land doesn't go under from the famine.
And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
Joseph set over Egypt
And the thing looked good to Pharaoh and to all his servants. And Pharaoh said to his servants: Where would we find another like this, a man with the Spirit of God in him? And Pharaoh said to Joseph: Seeing God has shown you all this, there's nobody with his head as well screwed on as you. You'll be over my house, and all my people will do as you say. Only the throne makes me greater than you. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: See — I've put you over the whole land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took his ring off his hand and put it on Joseph's, and dressed him in fine linen and put a gold chain round his neck. And he had him ride in the second chariot he had, and they called out in front of him: Bow the knee. And he made him ruler over the whole land of Egypt. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: I'm Pharaoh. And without your word nobody will lift a hand or a foot in all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphnathpaaneah, and gave him Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On for a wife. And Joseph went out over the whole land of Egypt. And Joseph was thirty when he stood in front of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh and went right through the land of Egypt. And through the seven good years the ground threw it up by the handful. And he gathered all the food of the seven years in the land of Egypt and stored it in the towns. The food off the country round each town he stored in that town. And Joseph piled up grain like the sand of the sea, so much he gave up keeping count, because there was no counting it. And before the years of famine came, Joseph had two sons, born to him by Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph called the firstborn Manasseh. Because, he said, God has made me forget all my hard times and my father's house. And the second he called Ephraim. Because God has made me fruitful in the country where I had it hard. And the seven years of plenty in the land of Egypt came to an end. And the seven years of famine started to come on, the way Joseph had said. And there was famine in every country, but right through the land of Egypt there was bread. And when the whole land of Egypt was starving, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians: Go to Joseph. Whatever he says to you, do it. And the famine was over the whole face of the earth. And Joseph opened all the stores and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine bit harder in the land of Egypt. And every country came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine had a grip on the whole world.
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said to his servants: Can we find a man like this, with the Spirit of God in him? And Pharaoh said to Joseph: Seeing God has shown you all this, there's nobody as understanding and wise as you. You'll be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by what you say. Only in the throne will I be greater than you. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: Look — I've set you over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and dressed him in fine linen and put a gold chain round his neck. And he made him ride in the second chariot he had. And they called out in front of him: Bow the knee. And he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh said to Joseph: I'm Pharaoh, and without you no man will lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood in front of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from in front of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt. And in the seven plenty years the earth brought out by handfuls. And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the towns. He laid up in every town the food of the fields round it. And Joseph gathered grain like the sand of the sea, plenty, till he stopped counting. Because it was past counting. And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, that Asenath the daughter of Potiphera priest of On had him. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: Because God, he said, has made me forget all my work and all my father's house. And he called the name of the second Ephraim: Because God has made me fruitful in the land of my trouble. And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were over. And the seven years of famine started to come, the way Joseph had said. And the famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. And when all the land of Egypt was hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians: Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do it. And the famine was over all the face of the earth. And Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine got bad in the land of Egypt. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was so bad in all lands.
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 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. And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. 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. And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. 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. And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
