Pharaoh

And Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man, buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought him thither.

and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,

yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.

`Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house,

and in the uppermost basket are of all kinds of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.'

yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.'

And it cometh to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and lo, he is standing by the River,

and the kine of bad appearance and lean in flesh eat up the seven kine of fair appearance, and fat--and Pharaoh awaketh.

and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears--and Pharaoh awaketh, and lo, a dream.

And it cometh to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sendeth and calleth all the scribes of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounteth to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.

And the chief of the butlers speaketh with Pharaoh, saying, `My sin I mention this day:

Pharaoh hath been wroth against his servants, and giveth me into charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers;

And Pharaoh sendeth and calleth Joseph, and they cause him to run out of the pit, and he shaveth, and changeth his garments, and cometh in unto Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `A dream I have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it, and I--I have heard concerning thee, saying, Thou understandest a dream to interpret it,'

and Joseph answereth Pharaoh, saying, `Without me--God doth answer Pharaoh with peace.'

And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph: `In my dream, lo, I am standing by the edge of the River,

And Joseph saith unto Pharaoh, `The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he hath declared to Pharaoh;

this is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: That which God is doing, he hath shewn Pharaoh.

`And because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hastening to do it.

`And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;

let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,

and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh--food in the cities; and they have kept it ,

And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,

and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God is ?'

and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God's causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;
