Genesis 41
About Genesis Genesis tells of creation, the first sin, the flood, and God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
1And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.SelectedGenesis 41:1Ask
2And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.SelectedGenesis 41:2Ask
3And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.SelectedGenesis 41:3Ask
4And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.SelectedGenesis 41:4Ask
5And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.SelectedGenesis 41:5Ask
6And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.SelectedGenesis 41:6Ask
7And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.SelectedGenesis 41:7Ask
8And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.SelectedGenesis 41:8Ask
9Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:SelectedGenesis 41:9Ask
10Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker:SelectedGenesis 41:10Ask
11And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.SelectedGenesis 41:11Ask
12And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.SelectedGenesis 41:12Ask
13And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.SelectedGenesis 41:13Ask
14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.SelectedGenesis 41:14Ask
15And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.SelectedGenesis 41:15Ask
16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.SelectedGenesis 41:16Ask
17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:SelectedGenesis 41:17Ask
18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:SelectedGenesis 41:18Ask
19And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:SelectedGenesis 41:19Ask
20And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:SelectedGenesis 41:20Ask
21And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.SelectedGenesis 41:21Ask
22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:SelectedGenesis 41:22Ask
23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:SelectedGenesis 41:23Ask
24And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.SelectedGenesis 41:24Ask
25And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.SelectedGenesis 41:25Ask
26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.SelectedGenesis 41:26Ask
27And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.SelectedGenesis 41:27Ask
28This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.SelectedGenesis 41:28Ask
29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:SelectedGenesis 41:29Ask
30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;SelectedGenesis 41:30Ask
31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.SelectedGenesis 41:31Ask
32And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.SelectedGenesis 41:32Ask
33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.SelectedGenesis 41:33Ask
34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.SelectedGenesis 41:34Ask
35And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.SelectedGenesis 41:35Ask
36And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.SelectedGenesis 41:36Ask
37And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.SelectedGenesis 41:37Ask
38And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?SelectedGenesis 41:38Ask
39And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:SelectedGenesis 41:39Ask
40Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.SelectedGenesis 41:40Ask
41And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.SelectedGenesis 41:41Ask
42And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;SelectedGenesis 41:42Ask
43And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.SelectedGenesis 41:43Ask
44And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.SelectedGenesis 41:44Ask
45And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.SelectedGenesis 41:45Ask
46And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.SelectedGenesis 41:46Ask
47And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.SelectedGenesis 41:47Ask
48And 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: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.SelectedGenesis 41:48Ask
49And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.SelectedGenesis 41:49Ask
50And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.SelectedGenesis 41:50Ask
51And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.SelectedGenesis 41:51Ask
52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.SelectedGenesis 41:52Ask
53And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.SelectedGenesis 41:53Ask
54And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.SelectedGenesis 41:54Ask
55And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.SelectedGenesis 41:55Ask
56And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.SelectedGenesis 41:56Ask
57And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.SelectedGenesis 41:57Ask
