1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the end^{4480 7093} of two full years,^{8141 3117} that Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ dreamed:²⁴⁹² and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁵⁹²¹ the river.²⁹⁷⁵

2  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there came up⁵⁹²⁷ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the river²⁹⁷⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ well³³⁰³ favored⁴⁷⁵⁸ kine⁶⁵¹⁰ and fatfleshed;^{1277 1320} and they fed⁷⁴⁶² in a meadow.²⁶⁰

3  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ other³¹² kine⁶⁵¹⁰ came up⁵⁹²⁷ after³¹⁰ them out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the river,²⁹⁷⁵ ill⁷⁴⁵¹ favored⁴⁷⁵⁸ and leanfleshed;^{1851 1320} and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁶⁸¹ the other kine⁶⁵¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the brink⁸¹⁹³ of the river.²⁹⁷⁵

4  And the ill⁷⁴⁵¹ favored⁴⁷⁵⁸ and leanfleshed^{1851 1320} kine⁶⁵¹⁰ did eat up^{398 853} the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ well³³⁰³ favored⁴⁷⁵⁸ and fat¹²⁷⁷ kine.⁶⁵¹⁰ So Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ awoke.³³⁶⁴

5  And he slept³⁴⁶² and dreamed²⁴⁹² the second time:⁸¹⁴⁵ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ ears of corn⁷⁶⁴¹ came up⁵⁹²⁷ upon one²⁵⁹ stalk,⁷⁰⁷⁰ rank¹²⁷⁷ and good.²⁸⁹⁶

6  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thin¹⁸⁵¹ ears⁷⁶⁴¹ and blasted⁷⁷¹⁰ with the east wind⁶⁹²¹ sprung up⁶⁷⁷⁹ after³¹⁰ them.

7  And the seven thin¹⁸⁵¹ ears⁷⁶⁴¹ devoured^{1104 853} the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rank¹²⁷⁷ and full⁴³⁹² ears.⁷⁶⁴¹ And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ awoke,³³⁶⁴ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ it was a dream.²⁴⁷²

8  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the morning¹²⁴² that his spirit⁷³⁰⁷ was troubled;⁶⁴⁷⁰ and he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and called for^{7121 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the magicians²⁷⁴⁸ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the wise men²⁴⁵⁰ thereof: and Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ told⁵⁶⁰⁸ them ⁸⁵³ his dream;²⁴⁷² but there was none³⁶⁹ that could interpret⁶⁶²² them unto Pharaoh.⁶⁵⁴⁷

9  Then spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ the chief⁸²⁶⁹ butler^{4945 853} unto Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ do remember^{2142 853} my faults²³⁹⁹ this day:³¹¹⁷

10  Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ was wroth⁷¹⁰⁷ with⁵⁹²¹ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ me in ward⁴⁹²⁹ in the captain⁸²⁶⁹ of the guard's²⁸⁷⁶ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ both me and the chief⁸²⁶⁹ baker:⁶⁴⁴

11  And we dreamed²⁴⁹² a dream²⁴⁷² in one²⁵⁹ night,³⁹¹⁵ I⁵⁸⁹ and he;¹⁹³¹ we dreamed²⁴⁹² each man³⁷⁶ according to the interpretation⁶⁶²³ of his dream.²⁴⁷²

12  And there was there⁸⁰³³ with⁸⁵⁴ us a young man,⁵²⁸⁸ a Hebrew,⁵⁶⁸⁰ servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ to the captain⁸²⁶⁹ of the guard;²⁸⁷⁶ and we told⁵⁶⁰⁸ him, and he interpreted⁶⁶²² to us ⁸⁵³ our dreams;²⁴⁷² to each man³⁷⁶ according to his dream²⁴⁷² he did interpret.⁶⁶²²

13  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as⁸³⁴ he interpreted⁶⁶²² to us, so³⁶⁵¹ it was;¹⁹⁶¹ me he restored⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ mine office,³⁶⁵³ and him he hanged.⁸⁵¹⁸

14  Then Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and called^{7121 853} Joseph,³¹³⁰ and they brought him hastily⁷³²³ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the dungeon:⁹⁵³ and he shaved¹⁵⁴⁸ himself, and changed²⁴⁹⁸ his raiment,⁸⁰⁷¹ and came in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ Pharaoh.⁶⁵⁴⁷

15  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joseph,³¹³⁰ I have dreamed²⁴⁹² a dream,²⁴⁷² and there is none³⁶⁹ that can interpret⁶⁶²² it: and I⁵⁸⁹ have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ say⁵⁵⁹ of⁵⁹²¹ thee, that thou canst understand⁸⁰⁸⁵ a dream²⁴⁷² to interpret⁶⁶²² it.

16  And Joseph³¹³⁰ answered^{6030 853} Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ It is not in¹¹⁰⁷ me: God⁴³⁰ shall give Pharaoh an answer^{6030 6547} of ⁸⁵³ peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

17  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Joseph,³¹³⁰ In my dream,²⁴⁷² behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ the bank⁸¹⁹³ of the river:²⁹⁷⁵

18  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there came up⁵⁹²⁷ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the river²⁹⁷⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ kine,⁶⁵¹⁰ fatfleshed^{1277 1320} and well³³⁰³ favored;⁸³⁸⁹ and they fed⁷⁴⁶² in a meadow:²⁶⁰

19  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ other³¹² kine⁶⁵¹⁰ came up⁵⁹²⁷ after³¹⁰ them, poor¹⁸⁰⁰ and very³⁹⁶⁶ ill⁷⁴⁵¹ favored⁸³⁸⁹ and leanfleshed,^{7534 1320} such²⁰⁰⁷ as I never³⁸⁰⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ for badness:⁷⁴⁵⁵

20  And the lean⁷⁵³⁴ and the ill favored⁷⁴⁵¹ kine⁶⁵¹⁰ did eat up^{398 853} the first⁷²²³ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ fat¹²⁷⁷ kine:⁶⁵¹⁰

21  And when they had eaten them up,^{935 413 7130} it could not³⁸⁰⁸ be known³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ they had eaten^{935 413 7130} them; but they were still ill favored,^{4758 7451} as⁸³⁴ at the beginning.⁸⁴⁶² So I awoke.³³⁶⁴

22  And I saw⁷²⁰⁰ in my dream,²⁴⁷² and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ ears⁷⁶⁴¹ came up⁵⁹²⁷ in one²⁵⁹ stalk,⁷⁰⁷⁰ full⁴³⁹² and good:²⁸⁹⁶

23  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ ears,⁷⁶⁴¹ withered,⁶⁷⁹⁸ thin,¹⁸⁵¹ and blasted⁷⁷¹⁰ with the east wind,⁶⁹²¹ sprung up⁶⁷⁷⁹ after³¹⁰ them:

24  And the thin¹⁸⁵¹ ears⁷⁶⁴¹ devoured^{1104 853} the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ good²⁸⁹⁶ ears:⁷⁶⁴¹ and I told⁵⁵⁹ this unto⁴¹³ the magicians;²⁷⁴⁸ but there was none³⁶⁹ that could declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ it to me.

25  And Joseph³¹³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ The dream²⁴⁷² of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ is one:²⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ hath showed⁵⁰⁴⁶ Pharaoh^{6547 853} what⁸³⁴ he is about to do.⁶²¹³

26  The seven⁷⁶⁵¹ good²⁸⁹⁶ kine⁶⁵¹⁰ are seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years;⁸¹⁴¹ and the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ good²⁸⁹⁶ ears⁷⁶⁴¹ are seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years:⁸¹⁴¹ the dream²⁴⁷² is one.²⁵⁹

27  And the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thin⁷⁵³⁴ and ill favored⁷⁴⁵¹ kine⁶⁵¹⁰ that came up⁵⁹²⁷ after³¹⁰ them are seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years;⁸¹⁴¹ and the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ empty⁷³⁸⁶ ears⁷⁶⁴¹ blasted⁷⁷¹⁰ with the east wind⁶⁹²¹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ of famine.⁷⁴⁵⁸

28  This¹⁹³¹ is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ I have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Pharaoh:⁶⁵⁴⁷ What⁸³⁴ God⁴³⁰ is about to do⁶²¹³ he showeth^{7200 853} unto Pharaoh.⁶⁵⁴⁷

29  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there come⁹³⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ of great¹⁴¹⁹ plenty⁷⁶⁴⁷ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴

30  And there shall arise⁶⁹⁶⁵ after³¹⁰ them seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ of famine;⁷⁴⁵⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the plenty⁷⁶⁴⁷ shall be forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴ and the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ shall consume^{3615 853} the land;⁷⁷⁶

31  And the plenty⁷⁶⁴⁷ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be known³⁰⁴⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ by reason of^{4480 6440} that¹⁹³¹ famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ following;^{310 3651} for³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ shall be very³⁹⁶⁶ grievous.³⁵¹⁵

32  And for⁵⁹²¹ that the dream²⁴⁷² was doubled⁸¹³⁸ unto⁴¹³ Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ twice;⁶⁴⁷¹ it is because³⁵⁸⁸ the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is established³⁵⁵⁹ by^{4480 5973} God,⁴³⁰ and God⁴³⁰ will shortly⁴¹¹⁶ bring it to pass.⁶²¹³

33  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore let Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ look out⁷²⁰⁰ a man³⁷⁶ discreet⁹⁹⁵ and wise,²⁴⁵⁰ and set⁷⁸⁹⁶ him over⁵⁹²¹ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

34  Let Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ do⁶²¹³ this, and let him appoint⁶⁴⁸⁵ officers⁶⁴⁹⁶ over⁵⁹²¹ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and take up the fifth part²⁵⁶⁷ of ⁸⁵³ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ in the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ plenteous⁷⁶⁴⁷ years.⁸¹⁴¹

35  And let them gather^{6908 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the food⁴⁰⁰ of those⁴²⁸ good²⁸⁹⁶ years⁸¹⁴¹ that come,⁹³⁵ and lay up⁶⁶⁵¹ corn¹²⁵⁰ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ the hand³⁰²⁷ of Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and let them keep⁸¹⁰⁴ food⁴⁰⁰ in the cities.⁵⁸⁹²

36  And that food⁴⁰⁰ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ for store⁶⁴⁸⁷ to the land⁷⁷⁶ against the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ of famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ which⁸³⁴ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴ that the land⁷⁷⁶ perish³⁷⁷² not³⁸⁰⁸ through the famine.⁷⁴⁵⁸

37  And the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ was good³¹⁹⁰ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰

38  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Can we find⁴⁶⁷² such a one as this²⁰⁸⁸ is, a man³⁷⁶ in whom⁸³⁴ the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of God⁴³⁰ is?

39  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joseph,³¹³⁰ Forasmuch³¹⁰ as God⁴³⁰ hath showed³⁰⁴⁵ thee ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ this,²⁰⁶³ there is none³⁶⁹ so discreet⁹⁹⁵ and wise²⁴⁵⁰ as thou³⁶⁴⁴ art:

40  Thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt be¹⁹⁶¹ over⁵⁹²¹ my house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and according unto⁵⁹²¹ thy word⁶³¹⁰ shall all³⁶⁰⁵ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ be ruled:⁵⁴⁰¹ only⁷⁵³⁵ in the throne³⁶⁷⁸ will I be greater¹⁴³¹ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ thou.

41  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joseph,³¹³⁰ See,⁷²⁰⁰ I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee over⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

42  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ took off^{5493 853} his ring²⁸⁸⁵ from^{4480 5921} his hand,³⁰²⁷ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ it upon⁵⁹²¹ Joseph's³¹³⁰ hand,³⁰²⁷ and arrayed³⁸⁴⁷ him in vestures⁸⁹⁹ of fine linen,⁸³³⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ a gold²⁰⁹¹ chain⁷²⁴² about⁵⁹²¹ his neck;⁶⁶⁷⁷

43  And he made him to ride⁷³⁹² in the second⁴⁹³² chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ which⁸³⁴ he had; and they cried⁷¹²¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, Bow the knee:⁸⁶ and he made⁵⁴¹⁴ him ruler over⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

44  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joseph,³¹³⁰ I⁵⁸⁹ am Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and without¹¹⁰⁷ thee shall no³⁸⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ lift up^{7311 853} his hand³⁰²⁷ or foot⁷²⁷² in all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

45  And Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ called⁷¹²¹ Joseph's³¹³⁰ name⁸⁰³⁴ Zaphnath-paaneah;⁶⁸⁴⁷ and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him to wife^{802 853} Asenath⁶²¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Poti-pherah⁶³¹⁹ priest³⁵⁴⁸ of On.²⁰⁴ And Joseph³¹³⁰ went out³³¹⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ all the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

46  And Joseph³¹³⁰ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴ And Joseph³¹³⁰ went out³³¹⁸ from the presence^{4480 6440} of Pharaoh,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and went⁵⁶⁷⁴ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

47  And in the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ plenteous⁷⁶⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ the earth⁷⁷⁶ brought forth⁶²¹³ by handfuls.⁷⁰⁶²

48  And he gathered up^{6908 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the food⁴⁰⁰ of the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years,⁸¹⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ were¹⁹⁶¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and laid up⁵⁴¹⁴ the food⁴⁰⁰ in the cities:⁵⁸⁹² the food⁴⁰⁰ of the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ was round about⁵⁴³⁹ every city,⁵⁸⁹² laid he up⁵⁴¹⁴ in the same.⁸⁴³²

49  And Joseph³¹³⁰ gathered⁶⁶⁵¹ corn¹²⁵⁰ as the sand²³⁴⁴ of the sea,³²²⁰ very³⁹⁶⁶ much,⁷²³⁵ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ he left²³⁰⁸ numbering;⁵⁶⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ it was without³⁶⁹ number.⁴⁵⁵⁷

50  And unto Joseph³¹³⁰ were born³²⁰⁵ two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons¹¹²¹ before²⁹⁶² the years⁸¹⁴¹ of famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ came,⁹³⁵ which⁸³⁴ Asenath⁶²¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Poti-pherah⁶³¹⁹ priest³⁵⁴⁸ of On²⁰⁴ bore³²⁰⁵ unto him.

51  And Joseph³¹³⁰ called^{7121 853} the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the firstborn¹⁰⁶⁰ Manasseh:⁴⁵¹⁹ For³⁵⁸⁸ God,⁴³⁰ said he, hath made me forget^{5382 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ my toil,⁵⁹⁹⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ my father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

52  And the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ called⁷¹²¹ he Ephraim:⁶⁶⁹ For³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ hath caused me to be fruitful⁶⁵⁰⁹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of my affliction.⁶⁰⁴⁰

53  And the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ of plenteousness,⁷⁶⁴⁷ that⁸³⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ were ended.³⁶¹⁵

54  And the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ of dearth⁷⁴⁵⁸ began²⁴⁹⁰ to come,⁹³⁵ according as⁸³⁴ Joseph³¹³⁰ had said:⁵⁵⁹ and the dearth⁷⁴⁵⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ in all³⁶⁰⁵ lands;⁷⁷⁶ but in all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ there was¹⁹⁶¹ bread.³⁸⁹⁹

55  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ was famished,⁷⁴⁵⁶ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ cried⁶⁸¹⁷ to⁴¹³ Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ for bread:³⁸⁹⁹ and Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the Egyptians,⁴⁷¹⁴ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ Joseph;³¹³⁰ what⁸³⁴ he saith⁵⁵⁹ to you, do.⁶²¹³

56  And the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ over⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth:⁷⁷⁶ And Joseph³¹³⁰ opened^{6605 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the storehouses,⁸³⁴ and sold⁷⁶⁶⁶ unto the Egyptians;⁴⁷¹⁴ and the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ waxed sore²³⁸⁸ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

57  And all³⁶⁰⁵ countries⁷⁷⁶ came⁹³⁵ into Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ to⁴¹³ Joseph³¹³⁰ for to buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ corn; because³⁵⁸⁸ that the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ was so sore²³⁸⁸ in all³⁶⁰⁵ lands.⁷⁷⁶

1 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ δύο ἔτη ἡμερῶν Φαραω εἶδεν ἐνύπνιον ᾤετο ἑστάναι ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ

2 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀνέβαινον ἑπτὰ βόες καλαὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ ἐκλεκταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν καὶ ἐβόσκοντο ἐν τῷ ἄχει

3 ἄλλαι δὲ ἑπτὰ βόες ἀνέβαινον μετὰ ταύτας ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ αἰσχραὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν καὶ ἐνέμοντο παρὰ τὰς βόας παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ

4 καὶ κατέφαγον αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ αἰσχραὶ καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν τὰς ἑπτὰ βόας τὰς καλὰς τῷ εἴδει καὶ τὰς ἐκλεκτάς ἠγέρθη δὲ Φαραω

5 καὶ ἐνυπνιάσθη τὸ δεύτερον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ στάχυες ἀνέβαινον ἐν πυθμένι ἑνὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ καὶ καλοί

6 ἄλλοι δὲ ἑπτὰ στάχυες λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἀνεφύοντο μετ᾽ αὐτούς

7 καὶ κατέπιον οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι τοὺς ἑπτὰ στάχυας τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς καὶ τοὺς πλήρεις ἠγέρθη δὲ Φαραω καὶ ἦν ἐνύπνιον

8 ἐγένετο δὲ πρωὶ καὶ ἐταράχθη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποστείλας ἐκάλεσεν πάντας τοὺς ἐξηγητὰς Αἰγύπτου καὶ πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτοῖς Φαραω τὸ ἐνύπνιον καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων αὐτὸ τῷ Φαραω

9 καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος πρὸς Φαραω λέγων τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου ἀναμιμνῄσκω σήμερον

10 Φαραω ὠργίσθη τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ἐν φυλακῇ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ ἀρχιμαγείρου ἐμέ τε καὶ τὸν ἀρχισιτοποιόν

11 καὶ εἴδομεν ἐνύπνιον ἐν νυκτὶ μιᾷ ἐγώ τε καὶ αὐτός ἕκαστος κατὰ τὸ αὑτοῦ ἐνύπνιον εἴδομεν

12 ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν νεανίσκος παῖς Εβραῖος τοῦ ἀρχιμαγείρου καὶ διηγησάμεθα αὐτῷ καὶ συνέκρινεν ἡμῖν

13 ἐγενήθη δὲ καθὼς συνέκρινεν ἡμῖν οὕτως καὶ συνέβη ἐμέ τε ἀποκατασταθῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχήν μου ἐκεῖνον δὲ κρεμασθῆναι

14 ἀποστείλας δὲ Φαραω ἐκάλεσεν τὸν Ιωσηφ καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ ὀχυρώματος καὶ ἐξύρησαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἤλλαξαν τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Φαραω

15 εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ ἐνύπνιον ἑώρακα καὶ ὁ συγκρίνων οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτό ἐγὼ δὲ ἀκήκοα περὶ σοῦ λεγόντων ἀκούσαντά σε ἐνύπνια συγκρῖναι αὐτά

16 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ιωσηφ τῷ Φαραω εἶπεν ἄνευ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἀποκριθήσεται τὸ σωτήριον Φαραω

17 ἐλάλησεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ λέγων ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου ᾤμην ἑστάναι παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ

18 καὶ ὥσπερ ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀνέβαινον ἑπτὰ βόες καλαὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ ἐκλεκταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν καὶ ἐνέμοντο ἐν τῷ ἄχει

19 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ βόες ἕτεραι ἀνέβαινον ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ πονηραὶ καὶ αἰσχραὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξίν οἵας οὐκ εἶδον τοιαύτας ἐν ὅλῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ αἰσχροτέρας

20 καὶ κατέφαγον αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ αἰσχραὶ καὶ λεπταὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ βόας τὰς πρώτας τὰς καλὰς καὶ ἐκλεκτάς

21 καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὰς κοιλίας αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ διάδηλοι ἐγένοντο ὅτι εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὰς κοιλίας αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ ὄψεις αὐτῶν αἰσχραὶ καθὰ καὶ τὴν ἀρχήν ἐξεγερθεὶς δὲ ἐκοιμήθην

22 καὶ εἶδον πάλιν ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου καὶ ὥσπερ ἑπτὰ στάχυες ἀνέβαινον ἐν πυθμένι ἑνὶ πλήρεις καὶ καλοί

23 ἄλλοι δὲ ἑπτὰ στάχυες λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἀνεφύοντο ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν

24 καὶ κατέπιον οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι τοὺς ἑπτὰ στάχυας τοὺς καλοὺς καὶ τοὺς πλήρεις εἶπα οὖν τοῖς ἐξηγηταῖς καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων μοι

25 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσηφ τῷ Φαραω τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραω ἕν ἐστιν ὅσα ὁ θεὸς ποιεῖ ἔδειξεν τῷ Φαραω

26 αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ καλαὶ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστίν καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ καλοὶ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστίν τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραω ἕν ἐστιν

27 καὶ αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ λεπταὶ αἱ ἀναβαίνουσαι ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστίν καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἔσονται ἑπτὰ ἔτη λιμοῦ

28 τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα ὃ εἴρηκα Φαραω ὅσα ὁ θεὸς ποιεῖ ἔδειξεν τῷ Φαραω

29 ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἔρχεται εὐθηνία πολλὴ ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ

30 ἥξει δὲ ἑπτὰ ἔτη λιμοῦ μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐπιλήσονται τῆς πλησμονῆς ἐν ὅλῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἀναλώσει ὁ λιμὸς τὴν γῆν

31 καὶ οὐκ ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἡ εὐθηνία ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ τοῦ ἐσομένου μετὰ ταῦτα ἰσχυρὸς γὰρ ἔσται σφόδρα

32 περὶ δὲ τοῦ δευτερῶσαι τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραω δίς ὅτι ἀληθὲς ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ταχυνεῖ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτό

33 νῦν οὖν σκέψαι ἄνθρωπον φρόνιμον καὶ συνετὸν καὶ κατάστησον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

34 καὶ ποιησάτω Φαραω καὶ καταστησάτω τοπάρχας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀποπεμπτωσάτωσαν πάντα τὰ γενήματα τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν τῆς εὐθηνίας

35 καὶ συναγαγέτωσαν πάντα τὰ βρώματα τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν τῶν ἐρχομένων τῶν καλῶν τούτων καὶ συναχθήτω ὁ σῖτος ὑπὸ χεῖρα Φαραω βρώματα ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν φυλαχθήτω

36 καὶ ἔσται τὰ βρώματα πεφυλαγμένα τῇ γῇ εἰς τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ ἃ ἔσονται ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ οὐκ ἐκτριβήσεται ἡ γῆ ἐν τῷ λιμῷ

37 ἤρεσεν δὲ τὰ ῥήματα ἐναντίον Φαραω καὶ ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ

38 καὶ εἶπεν Φαραω πᾶσιν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ μὴ εὑρήσομεν ἄνθρωπον τοιοῦτον ὃς ἔχει πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ

39 εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ ἐπειδὴ ἔδειξεν ὁ θεός σοι πάντα ταῦτα οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος φρονιμώτερος καὶ συνετώτερός σου

40 σὺ ἔσῃ ἐπὶ τῷ οἴκῳ μου καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ στόματί σου ὑπακούσεται πᾶς ὁ λαός μου πλὴν τὸν θρόνον ὑπερέξω σου ἐγώ

41 εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ ἰδοὺ καθίστημί σε σήμερον ἐπὶ πάσης γῆς Αἰγύπτου

42 καὶ περιελόμενος Φαραω τὸν δακτύλιον ἀπὸ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ περιέθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα Ιωσηφ καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὸν στολὴν βυσσίνην καὶ περιέθηκεν κλοιὸν χρυσοῦν περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ

43 καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δεύτερον τῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκήρυξεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ κῆρυξ καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐφ᾽ ὅλης γῆς Αἰγύπτου

44 εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ ἐγὼ Φαραω ἄνευ σοῦ οὐκ ἐξαρεῖ οὐθεὶς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου

45 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Φαραω τὸ ὄνομα Ιωσηφ Ψονθομφανηχ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν Ασεννεθ θυγατέρα Πετεφρη ἱερέως Ἡλίου πόλεως αὐτῷ γυναῖκα

46 Ιωσηφ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν τριάκοντα ὅτε ἔστη ἐναντίον Φαραω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Ιωσηφ ἐκ προσώπου Φαραω καὶ διῆλθεν πᾶσαν γῆν Αἰγύπτου

47 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ γῆ ἐν τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν τῆς εὐθηνίας δράγματα

48 καὶ συνήγαγεν πάντα τὰ βρώματα τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν ἐν οἷς ἦν ἡ εὐθηνία ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἔθηκεν τὰ βρώματα ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν βρώματα τῶν πεδίων τῆς πόλεως τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῆς ἔθηκεν ἐν αὐτῇ

49 καὶ συνήγαγεν Ιωσηφ σῖτον ὡσεὶ τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης πολὺν σφόδρα ἕως οὐκ ἠδύναντο ἀριθμῆσαι οὐ γὰρ ἦν ἀριθμός

50 τῷ δὲ Ιωσηφ ἐγένοντο υἱοὶ δύο πρὸ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ασεννεθ θυγάτηρ Πετεφρη ἱερέως Ἡλίου πόλεως

51 ἐκάλεσεν δὲ Ιωσηφ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πρωτοτόκου Μανασση ὅτι ἐπιλαθέσθαι με ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς πάντων τῶν πόνων μου καὶ πάντων τῶν τοῦ πατρός μου

52 τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τοῦ δευτέρου ἐκάλεσεν Εφραιμ ὅτι ηὔξησέν με ὁ θεὸς ἐν γῇ ταπεινώσεώς μου

53 παρῆλθον δὲ τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τῆς εὐθηνίας ἃ ἐγένοντο ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ

54 καὶ ἤρξαντο τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ ἔρχεσθαι καθὰ εἶπεν Ιωσηφ καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ἐν δὲ πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου ἦσαν ἄρτοι

55 καὶ ἐπείνασεν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου ἐκέκραξεν δὲ ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Φαραω περὶ ἄρτων εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις πορεύεσθε πρὸς Ιωσηφ καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὑμῖν ποιήσατε

56 καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἦν ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς ἀνέῳξεν δὲ Ιωσηφ πάντας τοὺς σιτοβολῶνας καὶ ἐπώλει πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις

57 καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ χῶραι ἦλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἀγοράζειν πρὸς Ιωσηφ ἐπεκράτησεν γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ

Vul

1 Post duos annos vidit Pharao somnium. Putabat se stare super fluvium,

2 de quo ascendebant septem boves, pulchræ et crassæ nimis: et pascebantur in locis palustribus.

3 Aliæ quoque septem emergebant de flumine, fœdæ confectæque macie: et pascebantur in ipsa amnis ripa in locis virentibus:

4 devoraveruntque eas, quarum mira species et habitudo corporum erat. Expergefactus Pharao,

5 rursum dormivit, et vidit alterum somnium: septem spicæ pullulabant in culmo uno plenæ atque formosæ:

6 aliæ quoque totidem spicæ tenues, et percussæ uredine oriebantur,

7 devorantes omnium priorum pulchritudinem. Evigilans Pharao post quietem,

8 et facto mane, pavore perterritus, misit ad omnes conjectores Ægypti, cunctosque sapientes, et accersitis narravit somnium, nec erat qui interpretaretur.

9 Tunc demum reminiscens pincernarum magister, ait: Confiteor peccatum meum:

10 iratus rex servis suis, me et magistrum pistorum retrudi jussit in carcerem principis militum:

11 ubi una nocte uterque vidimus somnium præsagum futurorum.

12 Erat ibi puer hebræus, ejusdem ducis militum famulus: cui narrantes somnia,

13 audivimus quidquid postea rei probavit eventus; ego enim redditus sum officio meo, et ille suspensus est in cruce.

14 Protinus ad regis imperium eductum de carcere Joseph totonderunt: ac veste mutata obtulerunt ei.

15 Cui ille ait: Vidi somnia, nec est qui edisserat: quæ audivi te sapientissime conjicere.

16 Respondit Joseph: Absque me Deus respondebit prospera Pharaoni.

17 Narravit ergo Pharao quod viderat: Putabam me stare super ripam fluminis,

18 et septem boves de amne conscendere, pulchras nimis, et obesis carnibus: quæ in pastu paludis virecta carpebant.

19 Et ecce, has sequebantur aliæ septem boves, in tantum deformes et macilentæ, ut numquam tales in terra Ægypti viderim:

20 quæ, devoratis et consumptis prioribus,

21 nullum saturitatis dedere vestigium: sed simili macie et squalore torpebant. Evigilans, rursus sopore depressus,

22 vidi somnium. Septem spicæ pullulabant in culmo uno plenæ atque pulcherrimæ.

23 Aliæ quoque septem tenues et percussæ uredine, oriebantur e stipula:

24 quæ priorum pulchritudinem devoraverunt. Narravi conjectoribus somnium, et nemo est qui edisserat.

25 Respondit Joseph: Somnium regis unum est: quæ facturus est Deus, ostendit Pharaoni.

26 Septem boves pulchræ, et septem spicæ plenæ, septem ubertatis anni sunt: eamdemque vim somnii comprehendunt.

27 Septem quoque boves tenues atque macilentæ, quæ ascenderunt post eas, et septem spicæ tenues, et vento urente percussæ, septem anni venturæ sunt famis.

28 Qui hoc ordine complebuntur:

29 ecce septem anni venient fertilitatis magnæ in universa terra Ægypti,

30 quos sequentur septem anni alii tantæ sterilitatis, ut oblivioni tradatur cuncta retro abundantia: consumptura est enim fames omnem terram,

31 et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura est inopiæ magnitudo.

32 Quod autem vidisti secundo ad eamdem rem pertinens somnium: firmitatis indicium est, eo quod fiat sermo Dei, et velocius impleatur.

33 Nunc ergo provideat rex virum sapientem et industrium, et præficiat eum terræ Ægypti:

34 qui constituat præpositos per cunctas regiones: et quintam partem fructuum per septem annos fertilitatis,

35 qui jam nunc futuri sunt, congreget in horrea: et omne frumentum sub Pharaonis potestate condatur, serveturque in urbibus.

36 Et præparetur futuræ septem annorum fami, quæ oppressura est Ægyptum, et non consumetur terra inopia.

37 Placuit Pharaoni consilium et cunctis ministris ejus:

38 locutusque est ad eos: Num invenire poterimus talem virum, qui spiritu Dei plenus sit?

39 Dixit ergo ad Joseph: Quia ostendit tibi Deus omnia quæ locutus es, numquid sapientiorem et consimilem tui invenire potero?

40 Tu eris super domum meam, et ad tui oris imperium cunctus populus obediet: uno tantum regni solio te præcedam.

41 Dixitque rursus Pharao ad Joseph: Ecce, constitui te super universam terram Ægypti.

42 Tulitque annulum de manu sua, et dedit eum in manu ejus: vestivitque eum stola byssina, et collo torquem auream circumposuit.

43 Fecitque eum ascendere super currum suum secundum, clamante præcone, ut omnes coram eo genu flecterent, et præpositum esse scirent universæ terræ Ægypti.

44 Dixit quoque rex ad Joseph: Ego sum Pharao: absque tuo imperio non movebit quisquam manum aut pedem in omni terra Ægypti.

45 Vertitque nomen ejus, et vocavit eum, lingua ægyptiaca, Salvatorem mundi. Deditque illi uxorem Aseneth filiam Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos. Egressus est itaque Joseph ad terram Ægypti

46 (triginta autem annorum erat quando stetit in conspectu regis Pharaonis), et circuivit omnes regiones Ægypti.

47 Venitque fertilitas septem annorum: et in manipulos redactæ segetes congregatæ sunt in horrea Ægypti.

48 Omnis etiam frugum abundantia in singulis urbibus condita est.

49 Tantaque fuit abundantia tritici, ut arenæ maris coæquaretur, et copia mensuram excederet.

50 Nati sunt autem Joseph filii duo antequam veniret fames: quos peperit ei Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos.

51 Vocavitque nomen primogeniti Manasses, dicens: Oblivisci me fecit Deus omnium laborum meorum, et domus patris mei.

52 Nomen quoque secundi appellavit Ephraim, dicens: Crescere me fecit Deus in terra paupertatis meæ.

53 Igitur transactis septem ubertatis annis, qui fuerant in Ægypto,

54 cœperunt venire septem anni inopiæ, quos prædixerat Joseph: et in universo orbe fames prævaluit, in cuncta autem terra Ægypti panis erat.

55 Qua esuriente, clamavit populus ad Pharaonem, alimenta petens. Quibus ille respondit: Ite ad Joseph: et quidquid ipse vobis dixerit, facite.

56 Crescebat autem quotidie fames in omni terra: aperuitque Joseph universa horrea, et vendebat Ægyptiis: nam et illos oppresserat fames.

57 Omnesque provinciæ veniebant in Ægyptum, ut emerent escas, et malum inopiæ temperarent.
