41 (27) And the seven thin and ill favoured cows 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 to Par῾o: What God is about to do He has shown to Par῾o.

(29) Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Miżrayim.

(30) And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Miżrayim; and the famine shall consume the land;

(31) and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

(32) And as for the repetition of the dream to Par῾o twice; it is because the thing is fast determined by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

(33) Now therefore let Par῾o look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Miżrayim.

(34) Let Par῾o do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Miżrayim in the seven years of plenty.

(35) And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Par῾o, and let them keep food in the cities.

(36) And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Miżrayim; that the land perish not through the famine.

(37) And the thing was good in the eyes of Par῾o, and in the eyes of all his servants.

(38) And Par῾o said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

(39) And Par῾o said to Yosef, since God has shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

(40) thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

(41) And Par῾o said to Yosef, See, I have set thee over all the land of Miżrayim.

(42) And Par῾o took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Yosef’s hand, and arrayed him in garments of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

(43) and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Avrekh (Bow the knee): and made him ruler over all the land of Miżrayim.

(44) And Par῾o said to Yosef, I am Par῾o, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Miżrayim.

(45) And Par῾o called Yosef’s name, Żafenat-pa῾neaĥ; and he gave him to wife Asenat the daughter of Poti-fera priest of On. And Yosef went out over all the land of Miżrayim.

(46) And Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Par῾o, king of Miżrayim. And Yosef went out from the presence of Par῾o, and went through all the land of Miżrayim.

(47) And in the seven years of plenty the earth brought forth by heaps.

(48) And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Miżrayim, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up within it.

(49) And Yosef gathered corn like the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped numbering; for it was without number.

(50) And to Yosef were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenat the daughter of Poti-fera priest of On bore to him.

(51) And Yosef called the name of the firstborn Menashshe: For God, said he, has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.

(52) And the name of the second he called Efrayim: For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
