Genesis 41:12-46
New Living Translation
12 There was a young Hebrew man with us in the prison who was a slave of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he told us what each of our dreams meant. 13 And everything happened just as he had predicted. I was restored to my position as cup-bearer, and the chief baker was executed and impaled on a pole.”
14 Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was quickly brought from the prison. After he shaved and changed his clothes, he went in and stood before Pharaoh. 15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it.”
16 “It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.”
17 So Pharaoh told Joseph his dream. “In my dream,” he said, “I was standing on the bank of the Nile River, 18 and I saw seven fat, healthy cows come up out of the river and begin grazing in the marsh grass. 19 But then I saw seven sick-looking cows, scrawny and thin, come up after them. I’ve never seen such sorry-looking animals in all the land of Egypt. 20 These thin, scrawny cows ate the seven fat cows. 21 But afterward you wouldn’t have known it, for they were still as thin and scrawny as before! Then I woke up.
22 “In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, full and beautiful, growing on a single stalk. 23 Then seven more heads of grain appeared, but these were blighted, shriveled, and withered by the east wind. 24 And the shriveled heads swallowed the seven healthy heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but no one could tell me what they mean.”
25 Joseph responded, “Both of Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. God is telling Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do. 26 The seven healthy cows and the seven healthy heads of grain both represent seven years of prosperity. 27 The seven thin, scrawny cows that came up later and the seven thin heads of grain, withered by the east wind, represent seven years of famine.
28 “This will happen just as I have described it, for God has revealed to Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do. 29 The next seven years will be a period of great prosperity throughout the land of Egypt. 30 But afterward there will be seven years of famine so great that all the prosperity will be forgotten in Egypt. Famine will destroy the land. 31 This famine will be so severe that even the memory of the good years will be erased. 32 As for having two similar dreams, it means that these events have been decreed by God, and he will soon make them happen.
33 “Therefore, Pharaoh should find an intelligent and wise man and put him in charge of the entire land of Egypt. 34 Then Pharaoh should appoint supervisors over the land and let them collect one-fifth of all the crops during the seven good years. 35 Have them gather all the food produced in the good years that are just ahead and bring it to Pharaoh’s storehouses. Store it away, and guard it so there will be food in the cities. 36 That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this famine will destroy the land.”
Joseph Made Ruler of Egypt
37 Joseph’s suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials. 38 So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?” 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. 40 You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours.”
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and placed it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothing and hung a gold chain around his neck. 43 Then he had Joseph ride in the chariot reserved for his second-in-command. And wherever Joseph went, the command was shouted, “Kneel down!” So Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of all Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said to him, “I am Pharaoh, but no one will lift a hand or foot in the entire land of Egypt without your approval.”
45 Then Pharaoh gave Joseph a new Egyptian name, Zaphenath-paneah.[a] He also gave him a wife, whose name was Asenath. She was the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On.[b] So Joseph took charge of the entire land of Egypt. 46 He was thirty years old when he began serving in the court of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And when Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence, he inspected the entire land of Egypt.

Genesis 41:12-46
New International Version
12 Now a young Hebrew(A) was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard.(B) We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream.(C) 13 And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.(D)”
14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon.(E) When he had shaved(F) and changed his clothes,(G) he came before Pharaoh.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it.(H) But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”(I)
16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”(J)
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,(K) 18 when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.(L) 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.(M)”
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same.(N) God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.(O) 26 The seven good cows(P) 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.(Q)
28 “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.(R) 29 Seven years of great abundance(S) are coming throughout the land of Egypt, 30 but seven years of famine(T) will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.(U) 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(V) by God, and God will do it soon.(W)
33 “And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man(X) and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.(Y) 34 Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners(Z) over the land to take a fifth(AA) of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.(AB) 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.(AC) 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,(AD) so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”
37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.(AE) 38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God[a]?”(AF)
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you,(AG) there is no one so discerning and wise as you.(AH) 40 You shall be in charge of my palace,(AI) and all my people are to submit to your orders.(AJ) Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(AK)”
Joseph in Charge of Egypt
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”(AL) 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring(AM) from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes(AN) of fine linen(AO) and put a gold chain around his neck.(AP) 43 He had him ride in a chariot(AQ) as his second-in-command,[b](AR) and people shouted before him, “Make way[c]!”(AS) Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.(AT)
44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”(AU) 45 Pharaoh gave Joseph(AV) the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest(AW) of On,[d](AX) to be his wife.(AY) And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old(AZ) when he entered the service(BA) of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt.
