CHAPTER 40
Genesis 40:1
1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt
and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. Genesis 40:2 2 And
Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the
butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. Genesis 40:3 3 And he put them in
ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where
Joseph was bound. Genesis 40:4 4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph
with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. Genesis
40:5 5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night,
each
man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of
the king  of Egypt,  which were bound  in the prison. Genesis 40:6 6 And Joseph
came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were
sad.
Genesis 40:7
7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's
house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? Genesis 40:8 8 And they said
unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter
of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me
them, I pray you.
Genesis 40:9
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream,
behold, a vine was before me; Genesis 40:10 10 And in the vine were three
branches: and it was as though it budded, and her
blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
Genesis 40:11
11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them
into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. Genesis 40:12 12
And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches
are three days:
Genesis 40:13
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee
unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the
former  manner  when thou wast his butler. Genesis 40:14 14 But think on me
when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray
thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this
house:
Genesis 40:15
15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also
have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. Genesis 40:16 16
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph,
I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
Genesis 40:17
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for
Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. Genesis
40:18
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three
baskets are three days:
Genesis 40:19
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and
shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Genesis 40:20
20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he
made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief
butler and of the chief baker  among  his servants. Genesis 40:21 21 And he
restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the
cup into Pharaoh's hand:
Genesis 40:22
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. Genesis
40:23
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him. CHAPTER 41
Genesis 41:1
1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and,
behold, he stood by the river. Genesis 41:2 2 And, behold, there came up out of
the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Genesis 41:3 3 And, 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.
Genesis 41:4
4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured
and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. Genesis 41:5 5 And he slept and dreamed the
second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and
good. Genesis 41:6 6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east
wind sprung up after
them.
Genesis 41:7
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh
awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. Genesis 41:8 8 And 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.
Genesis 41:9
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults
this day:
Genesis 41:10
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of
the guard's house, both me and the chief baker: Genesis 41:11 11 And we dreamed
a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according
to the interpretation of his dream. Genesis 41:12 12 And 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. Genesis 41:13 13 And it came to pass,
as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto
mine office, and him he hanged. Genesis 41:14 14 Then 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.
Genesis 41:15
15 And 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. Genesis 41:16 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It
is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh
an answer of peace.
Genesis 41:17
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of
the river:
Genesis 41:18
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well
favoured; and they fed in a meadow: Genesis 41:19 19 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:
Genesis 41:20
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
Genesis 41:21
21 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.
Genesis 41:22
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full
and good:
Genesis 41:23
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind,
sprung up after them:
Genesis 41:24
24 And 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. Genesis 41:25 25 And
Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed
Pharaoh what he is about to do. Genesis 41:26 26 The seven good kine are seven
years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Genesis 41:27
27 And 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.
Genesis 41:28
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do
he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:29
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of
Egypt:
Genesis 41:30
30 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;
Genesis 41:31
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine
following; for it shall be very grievous. Genesis 41:32 32 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. Genesis 41:33
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over
the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:34
34 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. Genesis 41:35
35 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. Genesis
41:36
36 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.
Genesis 41:37
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his
servants.
Genesis 41:38
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man
in whom the Spirit of God is?
Genesis 41:39
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this,
there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Genesis 41:40 40 Thou 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. Genesis 41:41 41 And
Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:42
42 And 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;
Genesis 41:43
43 And 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.
Genesis 41:44
44 And 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. Genesis 41:45 45 And 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.
Genesis 41:46
46 And 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. Genesis 41:47
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
Genesis 41:48
48 And 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. Genesis 41:49 49 And Joseph
gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for
it was without number. Genesis 41:50 50 And unto Joseph were born two sons
before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah
priest of On bare  unto him. Genesis 41:51
51 And 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. Genesis 41:52 52 And the
name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be
fruitful in the land of my affliction. Genesis 41:53 53 And the seven years of
plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
Genesis 41:54
54 And 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.
Genesis 41:55
55 And 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.
Genesis 41:56
56 And 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.
Genesis 41:57
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that
the famine was so sore in all lands. CHAPTER 42 Genesis 42:1
1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons,
Why do ye look one upon another?
Genesis 42:2
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down
thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die. Genesis
42:3
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. Genesis 42:4 4 But
Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest
peradventure mischief befall him. Genesis 42:5 5 And the sons of Israel came to
buy corn among those that came: for the famine
was in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 42:6
6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the
people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves
before him with their faces to the earth. Genesis 42:7 7 And Joseph saw his
brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto
them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And
they said, From the land of Canaan  to buy  food. Genesis 42:8 8 And Joseph
knew his brethren, but they knew not him. Genesis 42:9 9 And Joseph remembered
the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see
the nakedness of the land ye are come. Genesis 42:10
10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
Genesis 42:11
11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
Genesis 42:12
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are
come.
Genesis 42:13
13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the
land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one
is not.
Genesis 42:14
14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are
spies:
Genesis 42:15
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth
hence, except your youngest brother come hither. Genesis 42:16 16 Send one of
you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your
words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of
Pharaoh surely ye are spies. Genesis 42:17 17 And he put them all together into
ward three days. Genesis 42:18 18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This
do, and live; for I fear God:
Genesis 42:19
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your
prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses: Genesis 42:20 20 But
bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye
shall not die. And they did so. Genesis 42:21 21 And they said one to another,
We are verily guilty concerning our brother,
in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not
hear; therefore is this distress  come  upon us. Genesis 42:22 22 And Reuben
answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin
against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is
required.
Genesis 42:23
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an
interpreter.
Genesis 42:24
24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again,
and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their
eyes.
Genesis 42:25
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every
man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did
he  unto them.
Genesis 42:26
26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence. Genesis 42:27
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he
espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. Genesis 42:28 28 And
he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in
my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to
another, What is this that God  hath done  unto us? Genesis 42:29 29 And they
came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him
all that befell unto them; saying, Genesis 42:30 30 The man, who is the lord of
the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for
spies of the country.
Genesis 42:31
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies: Genesis 42:32 32 We
be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is
this day with our father in the land of Canaan. Genesis 42:33 33 And the man,
the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that
ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the
famine of your households,  and be gone: Genesis 42:34 34 And bring your
youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye
are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the
land.
Genesis 42:35
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's
bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the
bundles of money, they were afraid. Genesis 42:36 36 And Jacob their father
said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children:
Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these
things are against me.
Genesis 42:37
37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him
not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
Genesis 42:38
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and
he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then
shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow  to the grave.
