KJVAnd it came to pass at the end^H7093 of two full^H3117 years^H8141, that Pharaoh^H6547 dreamed^H2492^(H8802): and, behold, he stood^H5975^(H8802) by the river^H2975.

² Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.

KJVAnd, behold, there came up^H5927^(H8802) out of the river^H2975 seven^H7651 well^H3303 favoured^H4758 kine^H6510 and fatfleshed^H1277^H1320; and they fed^H7462^(H8799) in a meadow^H260.

³ Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

KJVAnd, behold, seven^H7651 other^H312 kine^H6510 came up^H5927^(H8802) after them^H310 out of the river^H2975, ill^H7451 favoured^H4758 and leanfleshed^H1851^H1320; and stood^H5975^(H8799) by^H681 the other kine^H6510 upon the brink^H8193 of the river^H2975.

⁴ The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

KJVAnd the ill^H7451 favoured^H4758 and leanfleshed^H1851^H1320 kine^H6510 did eat up^H398^(H8799) the seven^H7651 well^H3303 favoured^H4758 and fat^H1277 kine^H6510. So Pharaoh^H6547 awoke^H3364^(H8799).

⁵ He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

KJVAnd he slept^H3462^(H8799) and dreamed^H2492^(H8799) the second time^H8145: and, behold, seven^H7651 ears of corn^H7641 came up^H5927^(H8802) upon one^H259 stalk^H7070, rank^H1277 and good^H2896.

⁶ Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

KJVAnd, behold, seven^H7651 thin^H1851 ears^H7641 and blasted^H7710^(H8803) with the east wind^H6921 sprung up^H6779^(H8802) after them^H310.

⁷ The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

KJVAnd the seven thin^H1851 ears^H7641 devoured^H1104^(H8799) the seven^H7651 rank^H1277 and full^H4392 ears^H7641. And Pharaoh^H6547 awoke^H3364^(H8799), and, behold, it was a dream^H2472.

⁸ In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

KJVAnd it came to pass in the morning^H1242 that his spirit^H7307 was troubled^H6470^(H8735); and he sent^H7971^(H8799) and called^H7121^(H8799) for all the magicians^H2748 of Egypt^H4714, and all the wise men^H2450 thereof: and Pharaoh^H6547 told^H5608^(H8762) them his dream^H2472; but there was none that could interpret^H6622^(H8802) them unto Pharaoh^H6547.

⁹ Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.

KJVThen spake^H1696^(H8762) the chief^H8269 butler^H8248^(H8688) unto Pharaoh^H6547, saying^H559^(H8800), I do remember^H2142^(H8688) my faults^H2399 this day^H3117:

¹⁰ Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.

KJVPharaoh^H6547 was wroth^H7107^(H8804) with his servants^H5650, and put^H5414^(H8799) me in ward^H4929 in the captain^H8269 of the guard's^H2876 house^H1004, both me and the chief^H8269 baker^H644^(H8802):

¹¹ We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.

KJVAnd we dreamed^H2492^(H8799) a dream^H2472 in one^H259 night^H3915, I and he; we dreamed^H2492^(H8804) each man^H376 according to the interpretation^H6623 of his dream^H2472.

¹² There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.

KJVAnd there was there with us a young man^H5288, an Hebrew^H5680, servant^H5650 to the captain^H8269 of the guard^H2876; and we told^H5608^(H8762) him, and he interpreted^H6622^(H8799) to us our dreams^H2472; to each man^H376 according to his dream^H2472 he did interpret^H6622^(H8804).

¹³ As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”

KJVAnd it came to pass, as he interpreted^H6622^(H8804) to us, so it was; me he restored^H7725^(H8689) unto mine office^H3653, and him he hanged^H8518^(H8804).

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

KJVThen Pharaoh^H6547 sent^H7971^(H8799) and called^H7121^(H8799) Joseph^H3130, and they brought him hastily^H7323^(H8686) out of the dungeon^H953: and he shaved^H1548^(H8762) himself, and changed^H2498^(H8762) his raiment^H8071, and came in^H935^(H8804) unto Pharaoh^H6547.

¹⁵ Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto Joseph^H3130, I have dreamed^H2492^(H8804) a dream^H2472, and there is none that can interpret^H6622^(H8802) it: and I have heard^H8085^(H8804) say^H559^(H8800) of thee, that thou canst understand^H8085^(H8799) a dream^H2472 to interpret^H6622^(H8800) it.

¹⁶ Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 answered^H6030^(H8799) Pharaoh^H6547, saying^H559^(H8800), It is not in me^H1107: God^H430 shall give^H6030 Pharaoh^H6547 an answer^H6030^(H8799) of peace^H7965.

¹⁷ Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H1696^(H8762) unto Joseph^H3130, In my dream^H2472, behold, I stood^H5975^(H8802) upon the bank^H8193 of the river^H2975:

¹⁸ and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;

KJVAnd, behold, there came up^H5927^(H8802) out of the river^H2975 seven^H7651 kine^H6510, fatfleshed^H1277^H1320 and well^H3303 favoured^H8389; and they fed^H7462^(H8799) in a meadow^H260:

¹⁹ and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

KJVAnd, behold, seven^H7651 other^H312 kine^H6510 came up^H5927^(H8802) after them^H310, poor^H1803 and very^H3966 ill^H7451 favoured^H8389 and leanfleshed^H7534^H1320, such^H2007 as I never^H3808 saw^H7200^(H8804) in all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 for badness^H7455:

²⁰ The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;

KJVAnd the lean^H7534 and the ill favoured^H7451 kine^H6510 did eat up^H398^(H8799) the first^H7223 seven^H7651 fat^H1277 kine^H6510:

²¹ and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

KJVAnd when they had eaten them up^H935^(H8799)^H7130, it could not be known^H3045^(H8738) that they had eaten them^H935^(H8804)^H7130; but they were still^H4758 ill favoured^H7451, as at the beginning^H8462. So I awoke^H3364^(H8799).

²² I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;

KJVAnd I saw^H7200^(H8799) in my dream^H2472, and, behold, seven^H7651 ears^H7641 came up^H5927^(H8802) in one^H259 stalk^H7070, full^H4392 and good^H2896:

²³ and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

KJVAnd, behold, seven^H7651 ears^H7641, withered^H6798^(H8803), thin^H1851, and blasted^H7710^(H8803) with the east wind^H6921, sprung up^H6779^(H8802) after them^H310:

²⁴ The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

KJVAnd the thin^H1851 ears^H7641 devoured^H1104^(H8799) the seven^H7651 good^H2896 ears^H7641: and I told^H559^(H8799) this unto the magicians^H2748; but there was none that could declare^H5046^(H8688) it to me.

²⁵ Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 said^H559^(H8799) unto Pharaoh^H6547, The dream^H2472 of Pharaoh^H6547 is one^H259: God^H430 hath shewed^H5046^(H8689) Pharaoh^H6547 what he is about to do^H6213^(H8802).

²⁶ The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

KJVThe seven^H7651 good^H2896 kine^H6510 are seven^H7651 years^H8141; and the seven^H7651 good^H2896 ears^H7641 are seven^H7651 years^H8141: the dream^H2472 is one^H259.

²⁷ The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

KJVAnd the seven^H7651 thin^H7534 and ill favoured^H7451 kine^H6510 that came up^H5927^(H8802) after them^H310 are seven^H7651 years^H8141; and the seven^H7651 empty^H7386 ears^H7641 blasted^H7710^(H8803) with the east wind^H6921 shall be seven^H7651 years^H8141 of famine^H7458.

²⁸ That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

KJVThis is the thing^H1697 which I have spoken^H1696^(H8765) unto Pharaoh^H6547: What God^H430 is about to do^H6213^(H8802) he sheweth^H7200^(H8689) unto Pharaoh^H6547.

²⁹ Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.

KJVBehold, there come^H935^(H8802) seven^H7651 years^H8141 of great^H1419 plenty^H7647 throughout all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714:

³⁰ Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

KJVAnd there shall arise^H6965^(H8804) after them^H310 seven^H7651 years^H8141 of famine^H7458; and all the plenty^H7647 shall be forgotten^H7911^(H8738) in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714; and the famine^H7458 shall consume^H3615^(H8765) the land^H776;

³¹ and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

KJVAnd the plenty^H7647 shall not be known^H3045^(H8735) in the land^H776 by reason^H6440 of that famine^H7458 following^H310^H3651; for it shall be very^H3966 grievous^H3515.

³² The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

KJVAnd for that the dream^H2472 was doubled^H8138^(H8736) unto Pharaoh^H6547 twice^H6471; it is because the thing^H1697 is established^H3559^(H8737) by^H5973 God^H430, and God^H430 will shortly^H4116^(H8764) bring it to pass^H6213^(H8800).

³³ “Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

KJVNow therefore let Pharaoh^H6547 look out^H7200^(H8799) a man^H376 discreet^H995^(H8737) and wise^H2450, and set^H7896^(H8799) him over the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.

KJVLet Pharaoh^H6547 do^H6213^(H8799) this, and let him appoint^H6485^(H8686) officers^H6496 over the land^H776, and take up the fifth part^H2567^(H8765) of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 in the seven^H7651 plenteous^H7647 years^H8141.

³⁵ Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

KJVAnd let them gather^H6908^(H8799) all the food^H400 of those good^H2896 years^H8141 that come^H935^(H8802), and lay up^H6651^(H8799) corn^H1250 under the hand^H3027 of Pharaoh^H6547, and let them keep^H8104^(H8804) food^H400 in the cities^H5892.

³⁶ The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”

KJVAnd that food^H400 shall be for store^H6487 to the land^H776 against the seven^H7651 years^H8141 of famine^H7458, which shall be in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714; that the land^H776 perish^H3772^(H8735) not through the famine^H7458.

³⁷ The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

KJVAnd the thing^H1697 was good^H3190^(H8799) in the eyes^H5869 of Pharaoh^H6547, and in the eyes^H5869 of all his servants^H5650.

³⁸ Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto his servants^H5650, Can we find^H4672^(H8799) such a one as this^H2088 is, a man^H376 in whom^H834 the Spirit^H7307 of God^H430 is?

³⁹ Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto Joseph^H3130, Forasmuch^H310 as God^H430 hath shewed^H3045^(H8687) thee all this, there is none so discreet^H995^(H8737) and wise^H2450 as thou art:

⁴⁰ You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”

KJVThou shalt be^H1961^(H8799) over my house^H1004, and according unto thy word^H6310 shall all my people^H5971 be ruled^H5401^(H8799): only in the throne^H3678 will I be greater^H1431^(H8799) than thou.

⁴¹ Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto Joseph^H3130, See^H7200^(H8798), I have set^H5414^(H8804) thee over all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

⁴² Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 took off^H5493^(H8686) his ring^H2885 from his hand^H3027, and put^H5414^(H8799) it upon Joseph's^H3130 hand^H3027, and arrayed^H3847^(H8686) him in vestures^H899 of fine linen^H8336, and put^H7760^(H8799) a gold^H2091 chain^H7242 about his neck^H6677;

⁴³ He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.

KJVAnd he made him to ride^H7392^(H8686) in the second^H4932 chariot^H4818 which he had; and they cried^H7121^(H8799) before him^H6440, Bow the knee^H86: and he made^H5414^(H8800) him ruler over all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

⁴⁴ Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto Joseph^H3130, I am Pharaoh^H6547, and without^H1107 thee shall no man^H376 lift up^H7311^(H8686) his hand^H3027 or foot^H7272 in all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

⁴⁵ Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 called^H7121^(H8799) Joseph's^H3130 name^H8034 Zaphnathpaaneah^H6847; and he gave^H5414^(H8799) him to wife^H802 Asenath^H621 the daughter^H1323 of Potipherah^H6319 priest^H3548 of On^H204. And Joseph^H3130 went out^H3318^(H8799) over all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

⁴⁶ Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 was thirty^H7970 years^H8141 old^H1121 when he stood^H5975^(H8800) before^H6440 Pharaoh^H6547 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714. And Joseph^H3130 went out^H3318^(H8799) from the presence^H6440 of Pharaoh^H6547, and went throughout^H5674^(H8799) all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

⁴⁷ In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.

KJVAnd in the seven^H7651 plenteous^H7647 years^H8141 the earth^H776 brought forth^H6213^(H8799) by handfuls^H7062.

⁴⁸ 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. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.

KJVAnd he gathered up^H6908^(H8799) all the food^H400 of the seven^H7651 years^H8141, which were in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, and laid up^H5414^(H8799) the food^H400 in the cities^H5892: the food^H400 of the field^H7704, which was round about^H5439 every city^H5892, laid he up^H5414^(H8804) in the same^H8432.

⁴⁹ Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 gathered^H6651^(H8799) corn^H1250 as the sand^H2344 of the sea^H3220, very^H3966 much^H7235^(H8687), until he left^H2308^(H8804) numbering^H5608^(H8800); for it was without^H369 number^H4557.

⁵⁰ To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

KJVAnd unto Joseph^H3130 were born^H3205^(H8795) two^H8147 sons^H1121 before the years^H8141 of famine^H7458 came^H935^(H8799), which Asenath^H621 the daughter^H1323 of Potipherah^H6319 priest^H3548 of On^H204 bare^H3205^(H8804) unto him.

⁵¹ Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 called^H7121^(H8799) the name^H8034 of the firstborn^H1060 Manasseh^H4519: For God^H430, said he, hath made me forget^H5382^(H8765) all my toil^H5999, and all my father's^H1 house^H1004.

⁵² The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

KJVAnd the name^H8034 of the second^H8145 called^H7121^(H8804) he Ephraim^H669: For God^H430 hath caused me to be fruitful^H6509^(H8689) in the land^H776 of my affliction^H6040.

⁵³ The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

KJVAnd the seven^H7651 years^H8141 of plenteousness^H7647, that was in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, were ended^H3615^(H8799).

⁵⁴ The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

KJVAnd the seven^H7651 years^H8141 of dearth^H7458 began^H2490^(H8686) to come^H935^(H8800), according as Joseph^H3130 had said^H559^(H8804): and the dearth^H7458 was in all lands^H776; but in all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 there was bread^H3899.

⁵⁵ When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”

KJVAnd when all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 was famished^H7456^(H8799), the people^H5971 cried^H6817^(H8799) to Pharaoh^H6547 for bread^H3899: and Pharaoh^H6547 said^H559^(H8799) unto all the Egyptians^H4714, Go^H3212^(H8798) unto Joseph^H3130; what he saith^H559^(H8799) to you, do^H6213^(H8799).

⁵⁶ The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

KJVAnd the famine^H7458 was over all the face^H6440 of the earth^H776: And Joseph^H3130 opened^H6605^(H8799) all the storehouses, and sold^H7666^(H8799) unto the Egyptians^H4714; and the famine^H7458 waxed sore^H2388^(H8799) in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.

⁵⁷ All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

KJVAnd all countries^H776 came^H935^(H8804) into Egypt^H4714 to Joseph^H3130 for to buy^H7666^(H8800) corn; because that the famine^H7458 was so sore^H2388^(H8804) in all lands^H776.

KJVAnd it came to pass after^H310 these things^H1697, that the butler^H8248^(H8688) of the king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 and his baker^H644^(H8802) had offended^H2398^(H8804) their lord^H113 the king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714.

² Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.

KJVAnd Pharaoh^H6547 was wroth^H7107^(H8799) against^H5921 two^H8147 of his officers^H5631, against the chief^H8269 of the butlers^H8248^(H8688), and against the chief^H8269 of the bakers^H644^(H8802).

³ He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

KJVAnd he put^H5414^(H8799) them in ward^H4929 in the house^H1004 of the captain^H8269 of the guard^H2876, into the prison^H1004^H5470, the place^H4725 where Joseph^H3130 was bound^H631^(H8803).

⁴ The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

KJVAnd the captain^H8269 of the guard^H2876 charged^H6485^(H8799) Joseph^H3130 with them, and he served^H8334^(H8762) them: and they continued a season^H3117 in ward^H4929.

⁵ They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

KJVAnd they dreamed^H2492^(H8799) a dream^H2472 both of them^H8147, each man^H376 his dream^H2472 in one^H259 night^H3915, each man^H376 according to the interpretation^H6623 of his dream^H2472, the butler^H8248^(H8688) and the baker^H644^(H8802) of the king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714, which were bound^H631^(H8803) in the prison^H1004^H5470.

⁶ Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 came in^H935^(H8799) unto them in the morning^H1242, and looked^H7200^(H8799) upon them, and, behold, they were sad^H2196^(H8802).

⁷ He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”

KJVAnd he asked^H7592^(H8799) Pharaoh's^H6547 officers^H5631 that were with him in the ward^H4929 of his lord's^H113 house^H1004, saying^H559^(H8800), Wherefore look^H6440 ye so sadly^H7451 to day^H3117?

⁸ They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”

KJVAnd they said^H559^(H8799) unto him, We have dreamed^H2492^(H8804) a dream^H2472, and there is no interpreter^H6622^(H8802) of it. And Joseph^H3130 said^H559^(H8799) unto them, Do not interpretations^H6623 belong to God^H430? tell me^H5608^(H8761) them, I pray you.

⁹ The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

KJVAnd the chief^H8269 butler^H8248^(H8688) told^H5608^(H8762) his dream^H2472 to Joseph^H3130, and said^H559^(H8799) to him, In my dream^H2472, behold, a vine^H1612 was before me^H6440;

¹⁰ and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

KJVAnd in the vine^H1612 were three^H7969 branches^H8299: and it was as though it budded^H6524^(H8802), and her blossoms^H5322 shot forth^H5927^(H8804); and the clusters^H811 thereof brought forth ripe^H1310^(H8689) grapes^H6025:

¹¹ 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.”

KJVAnd Pharaoh's^H6547 cup^H3563 was in my hand^H3027: and I took^H3947^(H8799) the grapes^H6025, and pressed^H7818^(H8799) them into Pharaoh's^H6547 cup^H3563, and I gave^H5414^(H8799) the cup^H3563 into Pharaoh's^H6547 hand^H3709.

¹² Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, This is the interpretation^H6623 of it: The three^H7969 branches^H8299 are three^H7969 days^H3117:

¹³ Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.

KJVYet^H5750 within three^H7969 days^H3117 shall Pharaoh^H6547 lift up^H5375^(H8799) thine head^H7218, and restore^H7725^(H8689) thee unto thy place^H3653: and thou shalt deliver^H5414^(H8804) Pharaoh's^H6547 cup^H3563 into his hand^H3027, after the former^H7223 manner^H4941 when thou wast his butler^H8248^(H8688).

¹⁴ But remember me when it is well with you. Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

KJVBut think^H2142^(H8804) on me when it shall be well^H3190^(H8799) with thee, and shew^H6213^(H8804) kindness^H2617, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention^H2142^(H8689) of me unto Pharaoh^H6547, and bring me^H3318^(H8689) out of this house^H1004:

¹⁵ For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.”

KJVFor indeed I was stolen away^H1589^(H8795) out of the land^H776 of the Hebrews^H5680: and here also have I done^H6213^(H8804) nothing^H3972 that they should put^H7760^(H8804) me into the dungeon^H953.

¹⁶ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

KJVWhen the chief^H8269 baker^H644^(H8802) saw^H7200^(H8799) that the interpretation^H6622^(H8804) was good^H2896, he said^H559^(H8799) unto Joseph^H3130, I also^H637 was in my dream^H2472, and, behold, I had three^H7969 white^H2751 baskets^H5536 on my head^H7218:

¹⁷ In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”

KJVAnd in the uppermost^H5945 basket^H5536 there was of all manner^H3978 of bakemeats^H4639^H644^(H8802) for Pharaoh^H6547; and the birds^H5775 did eat^H398^(H8802) them out of the basket^H5536 upon^H5921 my head^H7218.

¹⁸ Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

KJVAnd Joseph^H3130 answered^H6030^(H8799) and said^H559^(H8799), This is the interpretation^H6623 thereof: The three^H7969 baskets^H5536 are three^H7969 days^H3117:

¹⁹ Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.”

KJVYet within three^H7969 days^H3117 shall Pharaoh^H6547 lift up^H5375^(H8799) thy head^H7218 from off thee, and shall hang^H8518^(H8804) thee on a tree^H6086; and the birds^H5775 shall eat^H398^(H8804) thy flesh^H1320 from off thee.

²⁰ On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

KJVAnd it came to pass the third^H7992 day^H3117, which was Pharaoh's^H6547 birthday^H3117^H3205^(H8715), that he made^H6213^(H8799) a feast^H4960 unto all his servants^H5650: and he lifted up^H5375^(H8799) the head^H7218 of the chief^H8269 butler^H8248^(H8688) and of the chief^H8269 baker^H644^(H8802) among^H8432 his servants^H5650.

²¹ He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

KJVAnd he restored^H7725 the chief^H8269 butler^H8248^(H8688) unto his butlership^H4945 again^H7725^(H8686); and he gave^H5414^(H8799) the cup^H3563 into Pharaoh's^H6547 hand^H3709:

²² but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

KJVBut he hanged^H8518^(H8804) the chief^H8269 baker^H644^(H8802): as Joseph^H3130 had interpreted^H6622^(H8804) to them.

²³ Yet the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.

KJVYet did not the chief^H8269 butler^H8248^(H8688) remember^H2142^(H8804) Joseph^H3130, but forgat^H7911^(H8799) him.
