Genesis 40:1 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:5 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. 12 I MC VC

Genesis 40:7 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? 12 I MC VC

Genesis 40:8 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. 12 I MC VC

Genesis 40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:10 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: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:11 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:13 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:14 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: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:15 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:16 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: 9 I MC VC

Genesis 40:17 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:19 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:20 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 40:23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:3 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:8 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:10 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: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:12 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:14 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:15 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. 12 I MC VC

Genesis 41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 12 I MC VC

Genesis 41:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:19 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: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:21 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:24 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:27 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:30 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; 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. 9 I MC VC

Genesis 41:32 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. 11 I MC VC

Genesis 41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:34 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:35 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. 10 I MC VC

Genesis 41:36 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. 10 I MC VC
