Genesis 41:12-46
Now a Hebrew youth was there with us, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we told him the dreams, and he interpreted our dreams for us. For each man he interpreted according to his own dream.And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; Pharaoh restored me in my office, but he hanged the chief baker.”Then Pharaoh sent word and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard it said about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying,“ It has nothing to do with me; God will give Pharaoh an answer for his own good.”So Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ In my dream, there I was, standing on the bank of the Nile;and behold, seven cows, fat and fine looking came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass.Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I had never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt;and the thin and ugly cows ate the first seven fat cows.Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears of grain, full and good, came up on a single stalk;and behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind sprouted up after them;and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the soothsayer priests, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”And Joseph said to Pharaoh,“ Pharaoh’s dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do.The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one and the same.The seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt;and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land.So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe.Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is confirmed by God, and God will quickly bring it about.So now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and appoint him over the land of Egypt.Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers in charge of the land, and let him take a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt as a tax in the seven years of abundance.Then have them collect all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and have them guard it.Let the food be used as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.Then Pharaoh said to his servants,“ Can we find a man like this, in whom there is a divine spirit?”So Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you are.You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people shall be obedient to you; only regarding the throne will I be greater than you.”Pharaoh also said to Joseph,“ See, I have placed you over all the land of Egypt.”Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the gold necklace around his neck.And he had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed ahead of him,“ Bow the knee!” And he placed him over all the land of Egypt.Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Though I am Pharaoh, yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
