바로의 꿈
41 그로부터 만 2년이 지난 후에 바로가 꿈을 꾸었다. 그가 나일 강가에 서서 보니
2 건강하고 살진 암소 일곱 마리가 강에서 올라와 풀을 뜯어먹고 있었다.
3 그 뒤에 흉측하고 뼈만 앙상하게 남은 다른 일곱 마리의 암소가 강에서 올라와 먼저 나온 소들과 함께 강변에 섰는데
4 그 흉측하고 깡마른 소들이 건강하고 살진 소들을 먹어 버렸다. 그러고서 바로는 꿈에서 깨어났다.
5 그는 다시 잠이 들어 두 번째 꿈을 꾸었는데 줄기 하나에 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭이 나오고
6 그 후에 사막의 [a]바람에 말라붙어 쭉정이가 된 다른 일곱 이삭이 그 줄기에서 나와
7 먼저 나온 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭을 삼켜 버렸다. 그러고서 바로가 깨어 보니 그것이 꿈이었다.
8 아침에 그는 번민하다가 이집트의 모든 마법사들과 지혜로운 자들을 불러 그들에게 자기 꿈을 말했으나 그 꿈을 해석하는 사람이 아무도 없었다.
9 그러자 술 따르는 신하가 바로에게 말하였다. “내가 오늘 비로소 내 잘못을 기억합니다.
10 폐하께서 빵 굽는 신하와 나에게 노하셔서 우리를 경호대장의 집에 가두셨을 때
11 우리가 같은 날 밤에 서로 다른 꿈을 꾸게 되었는데
12 그 곳에 경호대장의 종으로 있던 히브리 청년이 우리와 함께 있었습니다. 그래서 우리가 그에게 우리 꿈 이야기를 했더니 그가 우리 꿈을 각각 해석해 주었습니다.
13 결국 그의 해몽대로 나는 복직이 되고 빵 굽던 신하는 나무에 달려 처형되었습니다.”
14 바로가 요셉을 데려오라고 사람을 보내자 그들이 급히 그를 감옥에서 데려왔다. 요셉은 곧 수염을 깎고 옷을 갈아 입은 다음 바로 앞에 나왔다.
15 이때 바로가 요셉에게 “내가 꿈을 꾸었는데 그것을 해석해 줄 사람이 아무도 없다. 그러나 나는 네가 꿈을 잘 해석한다는 말을 들었다” 하고 말하였다.
16 그래서 요셉은 “나는 할 수 없지만 하나님이 왕에게 그 꿈의 뜻을 말씀해 주실 것입니다” 하고 대답하였다.
17 그러자 바로가 요셉에게 말하였다. “내가 꿈에 나일 강가에 서서
18 보니 건강하고 살진 암소 일곱 마리가 강에서 올라와 풀을 뜯어먹고 있었다.
19 그 뒤에 흉측하고 뼈만 앙상하게 남은 다른 일곱 마리의 암소가 강에서 올라왔는데 그것들은 내가 이집트의 그 어느 곳에서도 보지 못한 아주 흉측한 소들이었다.
20 그 흉측하고 깡마른 소들이 먼저 올라온 살진 소들을 먹었으나
21 먹은 것 같지 않아 여전히 흉측하게 보였다. 그러고서 내가 꿈에서 깨어났다.
22 잠시 후 나는 다시 잠이 들었는데 꿈에 보니 줄기 하나에 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭이 나오고
23 그 후에 사막의 바람에 말라붙어 쭉정이가 된 다른 일곱 이삭이 그 줄기에서 나와
24 먼저 나온 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭을 삼켜 버렸다. 내가 그 꿈을 마법사들에게 말했으나 그것을 설명하는 자가 아무도 없었다.”
25 그러자 요셉이 바로에게 말하였다. “그 두 가지 꿈은 한 가지 일을 뜻합니다. 하나님이 앞으로 일어날 일을 왕에게 보이신 것입니다.
26 일곱 마리의 살진 소는 7년을 가리키며 일곱 개의 알찬 이삭도 7년을 말합니다. 그래서 그 꿈은 동일한 것입니다.
27 그 후에 올라온 여위고 흉측한 소도 7년을 가리키며 사막의 바람에 말라붙어 쭉정이가 된 그 일곱 이삭은 7년 동안의 기근을 뜻합니다.
28 내가 왕에게 말씀드린 대로 바로 이것이 하나님께서 왕에게 보여 주신 앞으로 일어날 일입니다.
29 앞으로 7년 동안 이집트 전역에 큰 풍년이 있을 것입니다.
30 그러나 그 후 7년 동안은 흉년이 들 것이며 흉년으로 풍요롭던 시절은 다 잊혀지고 이 땅은 황폐해질 것입니다.
31 그 기근이 너무 심하므로 이 땅에서 이전의 풍년을 기억하지 못할 것입니다.
32 왕이 꿈을 두 번 연달아 꾸신 것은 하나님이 이 일을 정하셨으며 그 일을 속히 행하실 것을 뜻합니다.
33 “이제 왕은 총명하고 지혜로운 사람을 택하여 나라 일을 맡겨야 합니다.
34-35 행정 구역을 다섯으로 나누고 각 구역 마다 관리를 두어 풍년이 든 7년 동안에 [b]잉여 농산물을 모조리 거두어 왕의 권한으로 각 성의 창고에 비축해 두십시오.
36 이와 같이 식량을 비축해 두시면 앞으로 이집트 땅에 7년 동안 흉년이 들어도 [c]백성들이 굶어 죽지는 않을 것입니다.”
이집트의 국무총리가 된 요셉
37 바로와 그의 모든 신하들은 요셉의 제안을 좋게 여겼다.
38 그래서 바로는 신하들에게 “하나님의 영이 충만한 이런 사람을 우리가 어디서 만날 수 있겠는가?” 하고
39 요셉에게 이렇게 말하였다. “하나님이 이 모든 일을 너에게 알게 하셨으니 너처럼 총명하고 지혜로운 사람이 없구나.
40 너는 내 나라를 다스려라. 내 백성이 다 네 명령에 복종할 것이다. 내가 너보다 높은 것은 이 왕좌뿐이다.”
41 그러고서 바로는 요셉에게 “내가 너를 이집트 전국을 다스릴 총리로 임명한다” 하며
42 자기 인장 반지를 빼어 요셉의 손가락에 끼워 주고 그에게 고운 모시 옷을 입히며 금사슬을 그의 목에 걸어 주었다.
43 그리고 왕은 그를 궁중 2호 수레에 태웠으며 그가 가는 곳마다 의전관이 “엎드려라!” 하고 외쳤다. 이렇게 해서 요셉은 이집트의 국무총리가 되었다.
44 그러고서 바로는 요셉에게 “나는 왕이다. 그러나 네 허락이 없이는 이집트 땅에서 손발을 놀릴 자가 없을 것이다” 하고
45 그에게 ‘사브낫 – 바네아’ 라는 이집트 이름을 붙여 주고 또 [d]헬리오폴리스의 제사장인 보디베라의 딸 아스낫을 그에게 아내로 주었다.
46 요셉이 이집트 왕 바로를 섬기기 시작했을 때는 그의 나이 30세였으며 그때부터 그는 이집트 전역을 순회하였다.
47 7년 동안의 풍년으로 그 땅에는 농산물이 엄청나게 많았다.
48 그래서 요셉은 7년 동안 그 모든 곡식을 거두어 각 성에 비축했는데 각 성의 주변 밭에서 난 곡식은 그 성에 저장하도록 하였다.
49 이와 같이 요셉이 거두어 저장한 곡식이 바다의 모래처럼 많아 비축량을 계산할 수가 없었다.
50 흉년이 들기 전에 헬리오폴리스의 제사장인 보디베라의 딸 아스낫이 요셉에게 두 아들을 낳아 주었다.
51 요셉은 장남의 이름을 [e]므낫세라고 짓고 “하나님께서 나의 모든 고난과 내 아버지의 집안 식구들을 잊어버리게 하셨다” 하였으며
52 또 둘째 아들의 이름은 [f]에브라임이라고 짓고 “내가 고생하는 땅에서 하나님이 나에게 자식을 주셨다” 하였다.
53 이집트 땅에 7년 동안의 풍년이 끝나고
54 요셉의 말대로 7년 흉년이 시작되었다. 이때 다른 나라에는 기근이 들어 굶주렸으나 이집트 전역에는 식량이 있었다.
55 그러나 이집트에도 서서히 기근이 찾아들자 백성들은 바로에게 식량을 달라고 부르짖었다. 그래서 바로는 모든 이집트 사람들에게 요셉에게 가서 그가 시키는 대로 하라고 하였다.
56 이집트 전국에 기근이 더욱 심각해지자 요셉은 모든 창고를 열고 이집트 사람들에게 곡식을 팔았다.
57 그리고 기근이 온 세상을 휩쓸고 있었으므로 다른 나라 사람들도 요셉에게 곡식을 사려고 이집트로 몰려들었다.

Pharaoh’s Dreams
41 When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream:(A) He was standing by the Nile,(B) 2 when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat,(C) and they grazed among the reeds.(D) 3 After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank. 4 And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.(E)
5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain,(F) healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk. 6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind.(G) 7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up;(H) it had been a dream.
8 In the morning his mind was troubled,(I) so he sent for all the magicians(J) and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.(K)
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.(L) 10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants,(M) and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.(N) 11 Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.(O) 12 Now a young Hebrew(P) was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard.(Q) We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream.(R) 13 And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.(S)”
14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon.(T) When he had shaved(U) and changed his clothes,(V) he came before Pharaoh.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it.(W) But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”(X)
16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”(Y)
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,(Z) 18 when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.(AA) 19 After them, seven other cows came up—scrawny and very ugly and lean. I had never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt. 20 The lean, ugly cows ate up the seven fat cows that came up first. 21 But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.
22 “In my dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk. 23 After them, seven other heads sprouted—withered and thin and scorched by the east wind. 24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me.(AB)”
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same.(AC) God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.(AD) 26 The seven good cows(AE) are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream. 27 The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine.(AF)
28 “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.(AG) 29 Seven years of great abundance(AH) are coming throughout the land of Egypt, 30 but seven years of famine(AI) will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.(AJ) 31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. 32 The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided(AK) by God, and God will do it soon.(AL)
33 “And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man(AM) and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.(AN) 34 Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners(AO) over the land to take a fifth(AP) of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.(AQ) 35 They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food.(AR) 36 This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt,(AS) so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”
37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.(AT) 38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God[a]?”(AU)
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you,(AV) there is no one so discerning and wise as you.(AW) 40 You shall be in charge of my palace,(AX) and all my people are to submit to your orders.(AY) Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(AZ)”
Joseph in Charge of Egypt
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”(BA) 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring(BB) from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes(BC) of fine linen(BD) and put a gold chain around his neck.(BE) 43 He had him ride in a chariot(BF) as his second-in-command,[b](BG) and people shouted before him, “Make way[c]!”(BH) Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.(BI)
44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”(BJ) 45 Pharaoh gave Joseph(BK) the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest(BL) of On,[d](BM) to be his wife.(BN) And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old(BO) when he entered the service(BP) of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt. 47 During the seven years of abundance(BQ) the land produced plentifully. 48 Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities.(BR) In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. 49 Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea;(BS) it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.
50 Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.(BT) 51 Joseph named his firstborn(BU) Manasseh[e](BV) and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” 52 The second son he named Ephraim[f](BW) and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful(BX) in the land of my suffering.”
53 The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end, 54 and the seven years of famine(BY) began,(BZ) just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food. 55 When all Egypt began to feel the famine,(CA) the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”(CB)
56 When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians,(CC) for the famine(CD) was severe throughout Egypt.(CE) 57 And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph,(CF) because the famine was severe everywhere.(CG)

Pharaoh’s Dreams
41 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that (A)Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river. 2 Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow. 3 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. 4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke. 5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good. 6 Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the (B)east wind, sprang up after them. 7 And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream. 8 Now it came to pass in the morning (C)that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all (D)the magicians of Egypt and all its (E)wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
9 Then the (F)chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember my faults this day. 10 When Pharaoh was (G)angry with his servants, (H)and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker, 11 (I)we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. 12 Now there was a young (J)Hebrew man with us there, a (K)servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he (L)interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream. 13 And it came to pass, just (M)as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
14 (N)Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they (O)brought him quickly (P)out of the dungeon; and he shaved, (Q)changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. (R)But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”
16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, (S)“It is not in me; (T)God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Behold, (U)in my dream I stood on the bank of the river. 18 Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow. 19 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt. 20 And the gaunt and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows. 21 When they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were just as ugly as at the beginning. So I awoke. 22 Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven [a]heads came up on one stalk, full and good. 23 Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them. 24 And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So (V)I told this 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; (W)God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good [b]heads are seven years; the dreams are one. 27 And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are (X)seven years of famine. 28 (Y)This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. 29 Indeed (Z)seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt; 30 but after them seven years of famine will (AA)arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine (AB)will deplete the land. 31 So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe. 32 And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the (AC)thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 “Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint [c]officers over the land, (AD)to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years. 35 And (AE)let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the [d]authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 36 Then that food shall be as a [e]reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land (AF)may not [f]perish during the famine.”
Joseph’s Rise to Power
37 So (AG)the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man (AH)in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 (AI)You shall be [g]over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have (AJ)set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Then Pharaoh (AK)took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he (AL)clothed him in garments of fine linen (AM)and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in the second (AN)chariot which he had; (AO)and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him (AP)over all the land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name [h]Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife (AQ)Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he (AR)stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 47 Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth [i]abundantly. 48 So 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; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. 49 Joseph gathered very much grain, (AS)as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
50 (AT)And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn [j]Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my (AU)father’s house.” 52 And the name of the second he called [k]Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be (AV)fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended, 54 (AW)and the seven years of famine began to come, (AX)as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; (AY)whatever he says to you, do.” 56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened [l]all the storehouses and (AZ)sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt. 57 (BA)So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to (BB)buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.
