History & Narratives Verses

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

And, 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:

And 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. {eaten...: Heb. come to the inward parts of them}

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh {is} one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he {is} about to do.

This {is} the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God {is} about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

And 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;

And 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. {established...: or, prepared of God}

Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Let 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. {officers: or, overseers}

And 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.

And 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. {perish...: Heb. be not cut off}
