1After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
“Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream and behold he was standing by the Nile.”
“It came to pass at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream and behold, he stood by the river.”
“It happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream and behold he was standing by the Nile.”
“"...it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and, behold, he stood by the river.".”
“came to pass at the end of two full years that Pharaoh dreamed and behold he stood by the river”
2when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
“Suddenly there came up out of the river, seven cows, fine looking and fat, and they fed in the meadows.”
3After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.
“Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.”
“Then behold seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt. And they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.”
4And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
“the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.”
“The ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.”
5but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
“"...And he slept and dreamed the second time. And, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.".”
“He slept and dreamed a second time and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stock, plump and good.”
“he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.”
6After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
“"...And, behold, seven thin ears, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.".”
“Then behold seven ears thin and scorched by the east wind sprouted up after them.”
“Behold, seven thin heads blighted by the east wind sprang up after them”
“and behold seven thin ears and blighted with the east wind. It sprung up after them”
7And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
“and the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke and indeed it was a dream.”
“the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke and behold it was a dream.”
“"...And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, was a dream.”
“and the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears and the Pharaoh woke and behold it was a dream,”
8In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
“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…”
“in the morning that his spirit was troubled, so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.”
“Came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men and Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.”
“And so it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and the wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none that could interpret them unto…”
“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 under…”
“It came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled. So he sent and he called for all the magicians of Egypt, all the wise men thereof, and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none that could interpret them unto…”
9Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, "Today I recall my failures.
“"'Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day,'”
“Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh saying I would make mention today of my own offenses.”
“then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh saying, I remember my fault this day.”
“then speak the chief butler unto Pharaoh saying, I do remember my faults this day.”
“Then spoke the chief butler unto Pharaoh saying oh Yes, I do remember my faults this day.”
“Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh saying, now I remember my faults this day.”
10Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.
“When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,”
“Pharaoh was furious with his servants and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker.”
“"'Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker.”
11One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
“we had a dream on the same night he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.”
“And we dreamed a dream in one night. I and he, we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.”
“and we dreamed a dream in one night I and he and we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.”
“We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.”
12Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.
“Now a Hebrew youth was with us there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard. And we related them to him. And he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according to his own dream.”
“And there was there with us a young man, a 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.”
“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.”
“And there was there with us a young man a Hebrew servant to the captain of the guard and we told him and he interpreted To us our dreams and each man according to his dream. He did interpret”
13And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged."
“And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was. Me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.”
“and it came to pass as he interpreted to us. So it was Me he restored into mine office and him he hanged.”
“just as he interpreted for us so it happened. He restored me in my office but he hanged him.”
14So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.
“"'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.”
“Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes he came to Pharaoh.”
“then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh”
“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.”
“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.”
“Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.”
15Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
“And Pharaoh said to Joseph I have dreamed a dream and there is none that can interpret it and I have heard say of thee That thou can't understand a dream to interpret it”
“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 the dream to interpret it.”
“Pharaoh said to Joseph I've had a dream but no one can interpret it. For I have and I have heard it said about you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream. There is none that can interpret it. I have heard say of thee that thou canst interpret a dream, understand a dream to interpret it.”
16"I myself cannot do it," Joseph replied, "but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer."
“And Joseph answered pharaoh saying it is not in me. God shall give pharaoh an answer of peace”
“and Joseph answered Pharaoh saying it is not in me. God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
“Joseph then answered Pharaoh saying it is not in me. God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”
“And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, it is not in me. God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
“Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, how remarkable, it is not in me. God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: "In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
“"'And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river,”
“So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph. In my dream behold I was standing on the bank of the Nile.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river.”
18when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
“And behold seven cows fat and sleek came up out of the Nile. And they grazed in the marsh grass.”
19After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
“lo seven other cows came up after them poor and very ugly and gaunt. Such as I have never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt.”
“and behold seven other cows came up after them poor and very ill favored and lean flesh. Such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.”
20Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
“And the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows.”
21When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.
“Yet when they had devoured them it could not be detected that they had devoured them. For they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.”
“"'And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill -favored as at the beginning. So I awoke,”
“and when they had eaten them up. It could not be known that they had not eaten them, but they were still ill favored at the beginning. So I woke”
22In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
“and I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good.'".”
“I saw also in my dream and behold seven ears full and good came up on a single stalk.”
“And I saw in my dream and behold seven years came up and in on one stalk Full and good”
“I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears came up in one stock full and good”
“And I saw my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good.”
23After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
“And lo seven ears withered thin and scorched by the east wind sprouted up after them.”
“and behold, seven ears withered, thin and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.”
“and behold, seven ears, withered and thin, blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.”
24And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me."
“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.”
“And the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians for there was no one who could explain it to me.”
“and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears and I told this under the magicians, but there was none that could declare it to me.”
“And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. I told this unto the magicians, but there was none that could declare it to me.”
25At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
“Now Joseph said to Pharaoh. Pharaoh's dreams are one and the same. God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.”
“And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, the dream of Pharaoh is one. God has showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.”
26The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
“The seven good cows are seven years. And the seven good ears are seven years. The dreams are one”
“"'The seven good kind are seven ears, and the seven good ears are seven years.'. The dream is one.”
“The seven good cows are seven years and. The seven good ears are seven years. The dream is one.”
27Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.
“the seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind shall be seven years of famine.”
“And the seven thin and ill -favored kind that came up after then are seven years. And the seven empty ears, blasted with east wind, shall be seven years of famine.”
“And the seven thin and ill -favored cows came up after them. They are seven years. And the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.”
28It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
“It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.”
“This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh. What God is about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh.”
“This is the thing which I have spoken in the Pharaoh what God is about to do. He showeth unto Pharaoh”
“This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh, what God is about to do He has shown unto Pharaoh.”
29Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
“Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.”
“Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,”
“Behold seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt.”
“Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.”
“Behold there come up seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt”
30but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.
“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,”
“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.”
“And after them seven years of famine will come. And all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the famine will ravage the land.”
“And there shall arise after them seven years of famine. And all of the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the famine will consume the land.”
31The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
“and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following, for it shall be very grievous.'".”
“And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following for it shall be very grievous.”
“So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine. For it will be very severe.”
“And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following. For it shall be very grievous.”
“And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following. For it shall be very grievous.”
32Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.
“And for that the dream was doubled unto the Pharaoh twice. It is because the thing is established by God. And God will shortly bring it to pass.”
“"'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.'".”
“Now as for the repeating of the dreams to Pharaoh twice. It means that the matter is determined by God. And God will quickly bring it about.”
“as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is determined by God, verse 32, and God will quickly bring it about.”
“The doubling of Pharaoh's dream means the thing is fixed by God and God will shortly bring it about.”
“And for the dream, it was doubled unto Pharaoh twice. It is because the thing is established by God. And God will shortly bring it to pass.”
33Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
“now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise and set him over the land of Egypt.”
“now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise and set him over the land of Egypt.”
“"'Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man, discreet and wise. Set him over the land of Egypt.”
“Now therefore let Pharaoh seek out a man discreet and wise and set him over the land of Egypt.”
“Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out for a man discreet and wise and send him over the land of Egypt”
34Let Pharaoh take action and appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
“Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers in charge of the land. And let him exact a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land. Take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.”
35Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.
“Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh's authority and let them guard it.”
“And let them gather all the food of those good years that come and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh and Let them keep food in the cities”
“Let them gather all the food of those good years that come. Lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.'".”
“And let them gather all the food of those good years that come. And lay up the wheat under the hand of Pharaoh. And let them keep the food in the cities.”
“Let them gather all of the food of those good years that come and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh and let them keep food in the cities.”
36This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine."
“let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt. So that the land may not perish during the famine.”
“That the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine. Which shall be in the land of Egypt. When the land, that the land perish not through the famine.”
“and that food shall be. For storage in the land against the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt that the land perished not through the famine”
“And that food shall be in 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.”
“"'And that food shall be forstored 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.”
37This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
“And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.”
“And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.”
“And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh. And in the eyes of all of his servants.”
“And the thing was good in the eyes of pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.”
“Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.”
“And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all the servants”
38So Pharaoh asked them, "Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?"
“And Pharaoh said unto his servants. Can we find such a one as this is? A man in whom the Spirit of God is.”
“And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
“And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this? Is a man in whom the Spirit of God is.”
“And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one, as this is a man in whom the Spirit of God is?”
“Then Pharaoh said to his servants can we find a man like this in whom is a divine spirit.”
“And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is? A man in whom the spirit of God is?”
39Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
“Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.”
“So Pharaoh said to Joseph since God has informed you of all this there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art.”
“so pharaoh said to joseph since god has informed you of all this there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.”
“Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art.”
“so Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has informed you all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.”
40You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."
“You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word. Only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
“Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than thou.”
“Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than thou.”
“Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than thou.”
“You shall be over my house and according to your command all my people shall do homage. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
“Thou shalt be over my house. And according unto thy word, shall all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than thou.”
41Pharaoh also told Joseph, "I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt."
“Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.'".”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh said to Joseph see I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.”
42Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph's finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.
“And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand. And put it upon Joseph's hand. And he arrayed him in vestures of fine linen. And put a gold chain about his neck.”
“Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put the gold necklace around his neck.”
“And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck”
“And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.”
“then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand. And he put it on Joseph's hand and clothed him in garments of fine linen. And put the gold necklace around his neck.”
“And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.”
43He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, "Bow the knee!" So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
“And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried before him. Bow the knee. And he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.”
“and he had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they cried out before him, Bow the knee. So he set him over all the land of Egypt.”
“And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried before him, Bow the knee! And he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.”
“and he made him to ride in the second chariot, which he had. And they cried before him, Bow thy knee! And he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.”
“And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried before him bow the knee. And he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.”
“He had him ride in his second chariot and they proclaimed before him bow the knee and he set him over all the land of egypt.”
44And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot."
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I am Pharaoh. And without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all of the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
“Moreover Pharaoh said to Joseph though I am Pharaoh yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I am Pharaoh. And without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot. In all the land of Egypt.”
“Pharaoh also said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.
“Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphonath and he gave him Asenath the daughter of Paddekharah priest of On as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.”
“And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath Paneh and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potiphar priest of on and Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.”
46Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh's presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.
“And Joseph was 30 years old. When he stood before Pharaoh the king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh. And went throughout all the land of Egypt.”
“Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.”
“Joseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.”
“Joseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.”
“Joseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh, King of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout the land of Egypt.”
“And Joseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh the king of Egypt and Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout the land of Egypt”
47During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
“Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth abundantly.”
“And in the seven plenteous years, the earth brought forth by handfuls.”
“During the seven years of plenty the land brought forth abundantly.”
“And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.”
48During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.
“So 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 laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them.”
“So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities. He placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields.”
“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 and the food of the field which is round about. Every city laid he up the same.”
“And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food of the cities, the food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same.”
49So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.
“And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering, for it was without number.”
“Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea until he stopped measuring it for it was beyond measure.”
“And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much until he left numbering, for it was without number.”
“Joseph gathered very much grain as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting for it was”
“Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea. Until he stopped measuring it. For it was beyond measure.”
