Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dreams
41 After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile, 2 and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, attractive and plump, and they fed in the reed grass. 3 And behold, seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile. 4 And the ugly, thin cows ate up the seven attractive, plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke. 5 And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk. 6 And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and (A)blighted by the east wind. 7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump, full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. 8 So in the morning (B)his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the (C)magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today. 10 When Pharaoh was (D)angry with his servants (E)and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, 11 (F)we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation. 12 A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, (G)he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream. 13 And (H)as he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.”
14 (I)Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they (J)quickly brought him (K)out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. (L)I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, (M)“It is not in me; (N)God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”[a] 17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, (O)in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile. 18 Seven cows, plump and attractive, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass. 19 Seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt. 20 And the thin, ugly cows ate up the first seven plump cows, 21 but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke. 22 I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good. 23 Seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them, 24 and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And (P)I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; (Q)God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one. 27 The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also (R)seven years of famine. 28 It is as I told Pharaoh; (S)God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 There will come (T)seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, 30 but after them there will arise (U)seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. (V)The famine will consume the land, 31 and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe. 32 And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the (W)thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about. 33 Now therefore let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land and take one-fifth of the produce of the land[b] of Egypt during the seven plentiful years. 35 And (X)let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. 36 That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”
Joseph Rises to Power
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, (Y)in whom is the Spirit of God?”[c] 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. 40 (Z)You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command.[d] Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, (AA)I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh (AB)took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and (AC)clothed him in garments of fine linen (AD)and put a gold chain about his neck. 43 And he made him ride in his second chariot. (AE)And they called out before him, “Bow the knee!”[e] Thus he set him (AF)over all the land of Egypt. 44 Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and (AG)without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he (AH)entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt. 47 During the seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly, 48 and he gathered up all the food of these seven years, which occurred in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it. 49 And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, (AI)like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured.
50 Before the year of famine came, (AJ)two sons were born to Joseph. Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore them to him. 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh. “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's house.”[f] 52 The name of the second he called Ephraim, “For God has (AK)made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”[g]
53 The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end, 54 and (AL)the seven years of famine began to come, (AM)as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
56 So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses[h] and (AN)sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57 Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe (AO)over all the earth.

Joseph Interprets Pharaoh’s Dreams
41 After two full years Pharaoh had a dream. He dreamed he was standing by the Nile River. 2 Suddenly, seven nice-looking, well-fed cows came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds. 3 Seven other cows came up from the river behind them. These cows were sickly and skinny. They stood behind the first seven cows on the riverbank. 4 The cows that were sickly and skinny ate the seven nice-looking, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream. Seven good, healthy heads of grain were growing on a single stalk. 6 Seven other heads of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted behind them. 7 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven full, healthy heads. Then Pharaoh woke up. It was only a dream.
8 In the morning he was so upset that he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could tell him what they meant.
9 Then the chief cupbearer [a] spoke to Pharaoh, “I remember a promise I failed to keep. 10 Some time ago when Pharaoh was angry with his servants, he confined me and the chief baker to the captain of the guard’s prison. 11 We both had dreams the same night. Each dream had its own meaning. 12 A young Hebrew, a slave of the captain of the guard, was with us. We told him our dreams, and he told each of us what they meant. 13 What he told us happened: Pharaoh restored me to my position, but he hung the baker on a pole.”
14 Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and immediately he was brought from the prison. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came in front of Pharaoh.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can tell me what it means. I heard that when you are told a dream, you can say what it means.”
16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, “I can’t, but God can give Pharaoh the answer that he needs.”
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile. 18 Suddenly, seven nice-looking, well-fed cows came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds. 19 Seven other cows came up behind them. These cows were scrawny, very sick, and thin. I’ve never seen such sickly cows in all of Egypt! 20 The thin, sickly cows ate up the seven well-fed ones. 21 Even though they had eaten them, no one could tell they had eaten them. They looked just as sick as before. Then I woke up.
22 “In my second dream I saw seven good, full heads of grain growing on a single stalk. 23 Seven other heads of grain, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted behind them. 24 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but no one could tell me what it meant.”
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh had the same dream twice. God has told Pharaoh what he’s going to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. It’s all the same dream. 27 The seven thin, sickly cows that came up behind them are seven years. The seven empty heads of grain scorched by the east wind are also seven years. Seven years of famine are coming.
28 “It’s just as I said to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he’s going to do. 29 Seven years are coming when there will be plenty of food in Egypt. 30 After them will come seven years of famine. People will forget that there was plenty of food in Egypt, and the famine will ruin the land. 31 People won’t remember that there once was plenty of food in the land, because the coming famine will be so severe. 32 The reason Pharaoh has had a recurring dream is because the matter has been definitely decided by God, and he will do it very soon.
Joseph Advises Pharaoh
33 “Pharaoh should look for a wise and intelligent man and put him in charge of Egypt. 34 Make arrangements to appoint supervisors over the land to take a fifth of Egypt’s harvest during the seven good years. 35 Have them collect all the food during these good years and store up grain under Pharaoh’s control, to be kept for food in the cities. 36 This food will be a reserve supply for our country during the seven years of famine that will happen in Egypt. Then the land will not be ruined by the famine.”
37 Pharaoh and all his servants liked the idea. 38 So Pharaoh asked his servants, “Can we find anyone like this—a man who has God’s Spirit in him?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has let you know all this, there is no one as wise and intelligent as you. 40 You will be in charge of my palace, and all my people will do what you say. I will be more important than you, only because I’m Pharaoh.”
41 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I now put you in charge of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring and put it on Joseph’s finger. He had Joseph dressed in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 He had him ride in the chariot of the second-in-command. Men ran ahead of him and shouted, “Make way!” Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of Egypt.
44 He also said to Joseph, “Even though I am Pharaoh, no one anywhere in Egypt will do anything without your permission.” 45 Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenathpaneah and gave him Asenath as his wife. She was the daughter of Potiphera, priest from the city of On. Joseph traveled around Egypt.
Joseph Serves Pharaoh
46 Joseph was 30 years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh (the king of Egypt). He left Pharaoh and traveled all around Egypt. 47 During the seven good years the land produced large harvests. 48 Joseph collected all the food grown in Egypt during those seven years and put this food in the cities. In each city he put the food from the fields around it. 49 Joseph stored up grain in huge quantities like the sand on the seashore. He had so much that he finally gave up keeping any records because he couldn’t measure it all.
50 Before the years of famine came, Joseph had two sons by Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest from the city of On. 51 Joseph named his firstborn son Manasseh [He Helps Me Forget], because God helped him forget all his troubles and all about his father’s family. 52 He named the second son Ephraim [Blessed Twice With Children], because God gave him children in the land where he had suffered.
53 The seven years when there was plenty of food in Egypt came to an end. 54 Then the seven years of famine began as Joseph had said they would. All the other countries were experiencing famine. Yet, there was food in Egypt. 55 When everyone in Egypt began to feel the effects of the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. But Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph! Do what he tells you!”
56 When the famine had spread all over the country, Joseph opened all the storehouses [b] and sold grain to the Egyptians. He did this because the famine was severe in Egypt. 57 The whole world came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, since the famine was so severe all over the world.

José interpreta el sueño de Faraón
41 Aconteció que pasados dos años tuvo Faraón un sueño. Le parecía que estaba junto al río; 2 y que del río subían siete vacas, hermosas a la vista, y muy gordas, y pacían en el prado. 3 Y que tras ellas subían del río otras siete vacas de feo aspecto y enjutas de carne, y se pararon cerca de las vacas hermosas a la orilla del río; 4 y que las vacas de feo aspecto y enjutas de carne devoraban a las siete vacas hermosas y muy gordas. Y despertó Faraón. 5 Se durmió de nuevo, y soñó la segunda vez: Que siete espigas llenas y hermosas crecían de una sola caña, 6 y que después de ellas salían otras siete espigas menudas y abatidas del viento solano; 7 y las siete espigas menudas devoraban a las siete espigas gruesas y llenas. Y despertó Faraón, y he aquí que era sueño. 8 Sucedió que por la mañana estaba agitado su espíritu, y envió e hizo llamar a todos los magos de Egipto, y a todos sus sabios; y les contó Faraón sus sueños, mas no había quien los pudiese interpretar a Faraón.
9 Entonces el jefe de los coperos habló a Faraón, diciendo: Me acuerdo hoy de mis faltas. 10 Cuando Faraón se enojó contra sus siervos, nos echó a la prisión de la casa del capitán de la guardia a mí y al jefe de los panaderos. 11 Y él y yo tuvimos un sueño en la misma noche, y cada sueño tenía su propio significado. 12 Estaba allí con nosotros un joven hebreo, siervo del capitán de la guardia; y se lo contamos, y él nos interpretó nuestros sueños, y declaró a cada uno conforme a su sueño. 13 Y aconteció que como él nos los interpretó, así fue: yo fui restablecido en mi puesto, y el otro fue colgado.
14 Entonces Faraón envió y llamó a José. Y lo sacaron apresuradamente de la cárcel, y se afeitó, y mudó sus vestidos, y vino a Faraón. 15 Y dijo Faraón a José: Yo he tenido un sueño, y no hay quien lo interprete; mas he oído decir de ti, que oyes sueños para interpretarlos. 16 Respondió José a Faraón, diciendo: No está en mí; Dios será el que dé respuesta propicia a Faraón. 17 Entonces Faraón dijo a José: En mi sueño me parecía que estaba a la orilla del río; 18 y que del río subían siete vacas de gruesas carnes y hermosa apariencia, que pacían en el prado. 19 Y que otras siete vacas subían después de ellas, flacas y de muy feo aspecto; tan extenuadas, que no he visto otras semejantes en fealdad en toda la tierra de Egipto. 20 Y las vacas flacas y feas devoraban a las siete primeras vacas gordas; 21 y estas entraban en sus entrañas, mas no se conocía que hubiesen entrado, porque la apariencia de las flacas era aún mala, como al principio. Y yo desperté. 22 Vi también soñando, que siete espigas crecían en una misma caña, llenas y hermosas. 23 Y que otras siete espigas menudas, marchitas, abatidas del viento solano, crecían después de ellas; 24 y las espigas menudas devoraban a las siete espigas hermosas; y lo he dicho a los magos, mas no hay quien me lo interprete.
25 Entonces respondió José a Faraón: El sueño de Faraón es uno mismo; Dios ha mostrado a Faraón lo que va a hacer. 26 Las siete vacas hermosas siete años son; y las espigas hermosas son siete años: el sueño es uno mismo. 27 También las siete vacas flacas y feas que subían tras ellas, son siete años; y las siete espigas menudas y marchitas del viento solano, siete años serán de hambre. 28 Esto es lo que respondo a Faraón. Lo que Dios va a hacer, lo ha mostrado a Faraón. 29 He aquí vienen siete años de gran abundancia en toda la tierra de Egipto. 30 Y tras ellos seguirán siete años de hambre; y toda la abundancia será olvidada en la tierra de Egipto, y el hambre consumirá la tierra. 31 Y aquella abundancia no se echará de ver, a causa del hambre siguiente la cual será gravísima. 32 Y el suceder el sueño a Faraón dos veces, significa que la cosa es firme de parte de Dios, y que Dios se apresura a hacerla. 33 Por tanto, provéase ahora Faraón de un varón prudente y sabio, y póngalo sobre la tierra de Egipto. 34 Haga esto Faraón, y ponga gobernadores sobre el país, y quinte la tierra de Egipto en los siete años de la abundancia. 35 Y junten toda la provisión de estos buenos años que vienen, y recojan el trigo bajo la mano de Faraón para mantenimiento de las ciudades; y guárdenlo. 36 Y esté aquella provisión en depósito para el país, para los siete años de hambre que habrá en la tierra de Egipto; y el país no perecerá de hambre.
José, gobernador de Egipto
37 El asunto pareció bien a Faraón y a sus siervos, 38 y dijo Faraón a sus siervos: ¿Acaso hallaremos a otro hombre como este, en quien esté el espíritu de Dios? 39 Y dijo Faraón a José: Pues que Dios te ha hecho saber todo esto, no hay entendido ni sabio como tú. 40 Tú estarás sobre mi casa,(A) y por tu palabra se gobernará todo mi pueblo; solamente en el trono seré yo mayor que tú. 41 Dijo además Faraón a José: He aquí yo te he puesto sobre toda la tierra de Egipto. 42 Entonces Faraón quitó su anillo de su mano, y lo puso en la mano de José, y lo hizo vestir de ropas de lino finísimo, y puso un collar de oro en su cuello; 43 y lo hizo subir en su segundo carro, y pregonaron delante de él: ¡Doblad la rodilla!;[a] y lo puso sobre toda la tierra de Egipto. 44 Y dijo Faraón a José: Yo soy Faraón; y sin ti ninguno alzará su mano ni su pie en toda la tierra de Egipto. 45 Y llamó Faraón el nombre de José, Zafnat-panea; y le dio por mujer a Asenat, hija de Potifera sacerdote de On. Y salió José por toda la tierra de Egipto.
46 Era José de edad de treinta años cuando fue presentado delante de Faraón rey de Egipto; y salió José de delante de Faraón, y recorrió toda la tierra de Egipto. 47 En aquellos siete años de abundancia la tierra produjo a montones. 48 Y él reunió todo el alimento de los siete años de abundancia que hubo en la tierra de Egipto, y guardó alimento en las ciudades, poniendo en cada ciudad el alimento del campo de sus alrededores. 49 Recogió José trigo como arena del mar, mucho en extremo, hasta no poderse contar, porque no tenía número. 50 Y nacieron a José dos hijos antes que viniese el primer año del hambre, los cuales le dio a luz Asenat, hija de Potifera sacerdote de On. 51 Y llamó José el nombre del primogénito, Manasés;[b] porque dijo: Dios me hizo olvidar todo mi trabajo, y toda la casa de mi padre. 52 Y llamó el nombre del segundo, Efraín;[c] porque dijo: Dios me hizo fructificar en la tierra de mi aflicción.
53 Así se cumplieron los siete años de abundancia que hubo en la tierra de Egipto. 54 Y comenzaron a venir los siete años del hambre,(B) como José había dicho; y hubo hambre en todos los países, mas en toda la tierra de Egipto había pan. 55 Cuando se sintió el hambre en toda la tierra de Egipto, el pueblo clamó a Faraón por pan. Y dijo Faraón a todos los egipcios: Id a José, y haced lo que él os dijere.(C) 56 Y el hambre estaba por toda la extensión del país. Entonces abrió José todo granero donde había, y vendía a los egipcios; porque había crecido el hambre en la tierra de Egipto. 57 Y de toda la tierra venían a Egipto para comprar de José, porque por toda la tierra había crecido el hambre.

41 По прошествии двух лет фараону снилось: вот, он стоит у реки;
2 и вот, вышли из реки семь коров, хороших видом и тучных плотью, и паслись в тростнике;
3 но вот, после них вышли из реки семь коров других, худых видом и тощих плотью, и стали подле тех коров, на берегу реки;
4 и съели коровы худые видом и тощие плотью семь коров хороших видом и тучных. И проснулся фараон,
5 и заснул опять, и снилось ему в другой раз: вот, на одном стебле поднялось семь колосьев тучных и хороших;
6 но вот, после них выросло семь колосьев тощих и иссушенных восточным ветром;
7 и пожрали тощие колосья семь колосьев тучных и полных. И проснулся фараон и [понял, что] это сон.
8 Утром смутился дух его, и послал он, и призвал всех волхвов Египта и всех мудрецов его, и рассказал им фараон сон свой; но не было никого, кто бы истолковал его фараону.
9 И стал говорить главный виночерпий фараону и сказал: грехи мои вспоминаю я ныне;
10 фараон прогневался на рабов своих и отдал меня и главного хлебодара под стражу в дом начальника телохранителей;
11 и снился нам сон в одну ночь, мне и ему, каждому снился сон особенного значения;
12 там же был с нами молодой Еврей, раб начальника телохранителей; мы рассказали ему сны наши, и он истолковал нам каждому соответственно с его сновидением;
13 и как он истолковал нам, так и сбылось: я возвращен на место мое, а тот повешен.
14 И послал фараон и позвал Иосифа. И поспешно вывели его из темницы. Он остригся и переменил одежду свою и пришел к фараону.
15 Фараон сказал Иосифу: мне снился сон, и нет никого, кто бы истолковал его, а о тебе я слышал, что ты умеешь толковать сны.
16 И отвечал Иосиф фараону, говоря: это не мое; Бог даст ответ во благо фараону.
17 И сказал фараон Иосифу: мне снилось: вот, стою я на берегу реки;
18 и вот, вышли из реки семь коров тучных плотью и хороших видом и паслись в тростнике;
19 но вот, после них вышли семь коров других, худых, очень дурных видом и тощих плотью: я не видывал во всей земле Египетской таких худых, как они;
20 и съели тощие и худые коровы прежних семь коров тучных;
21 и вошли [тучные] в утробу их, но не приметно было, что они вошли в утробу их: они были так же худы видом, как и сначала. И я проснулся.
22 [Потом] снилось мне: вот, на одном стебле поднялись семь колосьев полных и хороших;
23 но вот, после них выросло семь колосьев тонких, тощих и иссушенных восточным ветром;
24 и пожрали тощие колосья семь колосьев хороших. Я рассказал это волхвам, но никто не изъяснил мне.
25 И сказал Иосиф фараону: сон фараонов один: что Бог сделает, то Он возвестил фараону.
26 Семь коров хороших, это семь лет; и семь колосьев хороших, это семь лет: сон один;
27 и семь коров тощих и худых, вышедших после тех, это семь лет, также и семь колосьев тощих и иссушенных восточным ветром, это семь лет голода.
28 Вот почему сказал я фараону: что Бог сделает, то Он показал фараону.
29 Вот, наступает семь лет великого изобилия во всей земле Египетской;
30 после них настанут семь лет голода, и забудется все то изобилие в земле Египетской, и истощит голод землю,
31 и неприметно будет прежнее изобилие на земле, по причине голода, который последует, ибо он будет очень тяжел.
32 А что сон повторился фараону дважды, [это значит], что сие истинно слово Божие, и что вскоре Бог исполнит сие.
33 И ныне да усмотрит фараон мужа разумного и мудрого и да поставит его над землею Египетскою.
34 Да повелит фараон поставить над землею надзирателей и собирать в семь лет изобилия пятую часть с земли Египетской;
35 пусть они берут всякий хлеб этих наступающих хороших годов и соберут в городах хлеб под ведение фараона в пищу, и пусть берегут;
36 и будет сия пища в запас для земли на семь лет голода, которые будут в земле Египетской, дабы земля не погибла от голода.
37 Сие понравилось фараону и всем слугам его.
38 И сказал фараон слугам своим: найдем ли мы такого, как он, человека, в котором был бы Дух Божий?
39 И сказал фараон Иосифу: так как Бог открыл тебе все сие, то нет столь разумного и мудрого, как ты;
40 ты будешь над домом моим, и твоего слова держаться будет весь народ мой; только престолом я буду больше тебя.
41 И сказал фараон Иосифу: вот, я поставляю тебя над всею землею Египетскою.
42 И снял фараон перстень свой с руки своей и надел его на руку Иосифа; одел его в виссонные одежды, возложил золотую цепь на шею ему;
43 велел везти его на второй из своих колесниц и провозглашать пред ним: преклоняйтесь! И поставил его над всею землею Египетскою.
44 И сказал фараон Иосифу: я фараон; без тебя никто не двинет ни руки своей, ни ноги своей во всей земле Египетской.
45 И нарек фараон Иосифу имя: Цафнаф-панеах, и дал ему в жену Асенефу, дочь Потифера, жреца Илиопольского. И пошел Иосиф по земле Египетской.
46 Иосифу было тридцать лет от рождения, когда он предстал пред лице фараона, царя Египетского. И вышел Иосиф от лица фараонова и прошел по всей земле Египетской.
47 Земля же в семь лет изобилия приносила [из зерна] по горсти.
48 И собрал он всякий хлеб семи лет, которые были [плодородны] в земле Египетской, и положил хлеб в городах; в [каждом] городе положил хлеб полей, окружающих его.
49 И скопил Иосиф хлеба весьма много, как песку морского, так что перестал и считать, ибо не стало счета.
50 До наступления годов голода, у Иосифа родились два сына, которых родила ему Асенефа, дочь Потифера, жреца Илиопольского.
51 И нарек Иосиф имя первенцу: Манассия, потому что [говорил он] Бог дал мне забыть все несчастья мои и весь дом отца моего.
52 А другому нарек имя: Ефрем, потому что [говорил он] Бог сделал меня плодовитым в земле страдания моего.
53 И прошли семь лет изобилия, которое было в земле Египетской,
54 и наступили семь лет голода, как сказал Иосиф. И был голод во всех землях, а во всей земле Египетской был хлеб.
55 Но когда и вся земля Египетская начала терпеть голод, то народ начал вопиять к фараону о хлебе. И сказал фараон всем Египтянам: пойдите к Иосифу и делайте, что он вам скажет.
56 И был голод по всей земле; и отворил Иосиф все житницы, и стал продавать хлеб Египтянам. Голод же усиливался в земле Египетской.
57 И из всех стран приходили в Египет покупать хлеб у Иосифа, ибо голод усилился по всей земле.
