Joseph

And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he.

Therefore he put them in ward in his chiefe stewardes house, in the prison and place where Ioseph was bound.

And the chiefe steward gaue Ioseph charge ouer them, and he serued them: and they continued a season in warde.

And when Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, beholde, they were sad.

Who answered him, We haue dreamed, eche one a dreame, and there is none to interprete the same. Then Ioseph saide vnto them, Are not interpretations of God? tell them me nowe.

So the chiefe butler tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and said vnto him, In my dreame, behold, a vine was before me,

Then Ioseph sayde vnto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three braunches are three dayes.

And when the chiefe baker sawe that the interpretation was good, hee saide vnto Ioseph, Also mee thought in my dreame that I had three white baskets on mine head.

Then Ioseph answered, and saide, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three dayes:

But he hanged the chiefe baker, as Ioseph had interpreted vnto them.

Yet the chiefe butler did not remember Ioseph, but forgate him.

Then sent Pharaoh, and called Ioseph, and they brought him hastily out of prison, and he shaued him, and chaunged his rayment, and came to Pharaoh.

Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it.

And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:

Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.

The Pharaoh said to Ioseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderstanding, or of wisedome like vnto thee.

Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph, Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh tooke off his ring from his hand, and put it vpon Iosephs hand, and arayed him in garments of fine linnen, and put a golden cheyne about his necke.

Againe Pharaoh saide vnto Ioseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift vp his hand or his foote in all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh called Iosephs name Zaphnath-paaneah: and he gaue him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On. then went Ioseph abrode in the land of Egypt.

And Ioseph was thirtie yeere old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and Ioseph departing from the presence of Pharaoh, went throughout all the land of Egypt.

So Ioseph gathered wheate, like vnto the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, vntill he left numbring: for it was without number.

Now vnto Ioseph were borne two sonnes (before the yeeres of famine came) which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On bare vnto him.

And Ioseph called the name of the first borne Manasseh: for God, said he, hath made me forget all my labour and al my fathers houshold.
