Gen.41.1
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
Gen.41.1
Two years passed and Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile River.
Gen.41.1
When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,
Gen.41.1
Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.
Gen.41.1
Two years later, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing on the bank of the Nile River.
Gen.41.2
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Gen.41.2
Seven cows came up out of the Nile, all shimmering with health, and grazed on the marsh grass.
Gen.41.2
when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
Gen.41.2
Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
Gen.41.2
In his dream, seven fat, healthy-looking cows suddenly came up out of the river and began grazing along its bank.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.3
Then seven other cows, all skin and bones, came up out of the river after them and stood by them on the bank of the Nile.
Gen.41.3
After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank.
Gen.41.3
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.
Gen.41.3
Then seven other cows came up from the river, but these were very ugly and gaunt. These cows went over and stood beside the fat cows.
Gen.41.4
And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Gen.41.4
The skinny cows ate the seven healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
Gen.41.4
And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
Gen.41.4
And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
Gen.41.4
Then the thin, ugly cows ate the fat ones! At this point in the dream, Pharaoh woke up.
Gen.41.5
And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Gen.41.5
He went back to sleep and dreamed a second time: Seven ears of grain, full-bodied and lush, grew out of a single stalk.
Gen.41.5
He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk.
Gen.41.5
He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.
Gen.41.5
Soon he fell asleep again and had a second dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain on one stalk, with every kernel well formed and plump.
Gen.41.6
And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
Gen.41.6
Then seven more ears grew up, but these were thin and dried out by the east wind.
Gen.41.6
After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted-thin and scorched by the east wind.
Gen.41.6
Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
Gen.41.6
Then suddenly, seven more heads appeared on the stalk, but these were shriveled and withered by the east wind.
Gen.41.7
And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Gen.41.7
The thin ears swallowed up the full, healthy ears. Then Pharaoh woke up--another dream.
Gen.41.7
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up; it had been a dream.
Gen.41.7
And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream.
Gen.41.7
And these thin heads swallowed up the seven plump, well-formed heads! Then Pharaoh woke up again and realized it was a dream.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.8
When morning came, he was upset. He sent for all the magicians and sages of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but they couldn't interpret them to him.
Gen.41.8
In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Gen.41.8
Now 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 its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
Gen.41.8
The next morning, as he thought about it, Pharaoh became very concerned as to what the dreams might mean. So he called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt and told them about his dreams, but not one of them could suggest what they meant.
Gen.41.9
Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
Gen.41.9
The head cupbearer then spoke up and said to Pharaoh, "I just now remembered something--I'm sorry, I should have told you this long ago.
Gen.41.9
Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, "Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.
Gen.41.9
Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: "I remember my faults this day.
Gen.41.9
Then the king's cup-bearer spoke up. "Today I have been reminded of my failure," he said.
Gen.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:
Gen.41.10
Once when Pharaoh got angry with his servants, he locked me and the head baker in the house of the captain of the guard.
Gen.41.10
Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.
Gen.41.10
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,
Gen.41.10
"Some time ago, you were angry with the chief baker and me, and you imprisoned us in the palace of the captain of the guard.
Gen.41.11
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Gen.41.11
We both had dreams on the same night, each dream with its own meaning.
Gen.41.11
Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.
Gen.41.11
we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
Gen.41.11
One night the chief baker and I each had a dream, and each dream had a meaning.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.12
It so happened that there was a young Hebrew slave there with us; he belonged to the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us, each dream separately.
Gen.41.12
Now 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, giving each man the interpretation of his dream.
Gen.41.12
Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
Gen.41.12
We told the dreams to a young Hebrew man who was a servant of the captain of the guard. He told us what each of our dreams meant,
Gen.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.
Gen.41.13
Things turned out just as he interpreted. I was returned to my position and the head baker was impaled."
Gen.41.13
And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged. "
Gen.41.13
And it came to pass, just as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him."
Gen.41.13
and everything happened just as he said it would. I was restored to my position as cup-bearer, and the chief baker was executed and impaled on a pole."
Gen.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.
Gen.41.14
Pharaoh at once sent for Joseph. They brought him on the run from the jail cell. He cut his hair, put on clean clothes, and came to Pharaoh.
Gen.41.14
So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.
Gen.41.14
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.
Gen.41.14
Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was brought hastily from the dungeon. After a quick shave and change of clothes, he went in and stood in Pharaoh's presence.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.15
"I dreamed a dream," Pharaoh told Joseph. "Nobody can interpret it. But I've heard that just by hearing a dream you can interpret it."
Gen.41.15
Pharaoh 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."
Gen.41.15
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it."
Gen.41.15
"I had a dream last night," Pharaoh told him, "and none of these men can tell me what it means. But I have heard that you can interpret dreams, and that is why I have called for you."
Gen.41.16
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Gen.41.16
Joseph answered, "Not I, but God. God will set Pharaoh's mind at ease."
Gen.41.16
"I cannot do it," Joseph replied to Pharaoh, "but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires."
Gen.41.16
So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."
Gen.41.16
"It is beyond my power to do this," Joseph replied. "But God will tell you what it means and will set you at ease."
Gen.41.17
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
Gen.41.17
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile.
Gen.41.17
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Gen.41.17
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: "Behold, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river.
Gen.41.17
So Pharaoh told him the dream. "I was standing on the bank of the Nile River," he said.
Gen.41.18
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
Gen.41.18
Seven cows, shimmering with health, came up out of the river and grazed on the marsh grass.
Gen.41.18
when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
Gen.41.18
Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
Gen.41.18
"Suddenly, seven fat, healthy-looking cows came up out of the river and began grazing along its bank.
Gen.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:
Gen.41.19
On their heels seven more cows, all skin and bones, came up. I've never seen uglier cows anywhere in Egypt.
Gen.41.19
After them, seven other cows came up-scrawny and very ugly and lean. I had never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt.
Gen.41.19
Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt.
Gen.41.19
But then seven other cows came up from the river. They were very thin and gaunt--in fact, I've never seen such ugly animals in all the land of Egypt.
Gen.41.20
And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
Gen.41.20
Then the seven skinny, ugly cows ate up the first seven healthy cows.
Gen.41.20
The lean, ugly cows ate up the seven fat cows that came up first.
Gen.41.20
And the gaunt and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows.
Gen.41.20
These thin, ugly cows ate up the seven fat ones that had come out of the river first,
Gen.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.
Gen.41.21
But you couldn't tell by looking--after eating them up they were just as skinny and ugly as before. Then I woke up.
Gen.41.21
But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.
Gen.41.21
When they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were just as ugly as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Gen.41.21
but afterward they were still as ugly and gaunt as before! Then I woke up.
Gen.41.22
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
Gen.41.22
"In my second dream I saw seven ears of grain, full-bodied and lush, growing out of a single stalk,
Gen.41.22
"In my dreams I also saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk.
Gen.41.22
Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven heads came up on one stalk, full and good.
Gen.41.22
"A little later I had another dream. This time there were seven heads of grain on one stalk, and all seven heads were plump and full.
Gen.41.23
And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
Gen.41.23
and right behind them, seven other ears, shriveled, thin, and dried out by the east wind.
Gen.41.23
After them, seven other heads sprouted-withered and thin and scorched by the east wind.
Gen.41.23
Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
Gen.41.23
Then out of the same stalk came seven withered heads, shriveled by the east wind.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.24
And the thin ears swallowed up the full ears. I've told all this to the magicians but they can't figure it out."
Gen.41.24
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none could explain it to me."
Gen.41.24
And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So I told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."
Gen.41.24
And the withered heads swallowed up the plump ones! I told these dreams to my magicians, but not one of them could tell me what they mean."
Gen.41.25
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Gen.41.25
Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's two dreams both mean the same thing. God is telling Pharaoh what he is going to do.
Gen.41.25
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Gen.41.25
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:
Gen.41.25
"Both dreams mean the same thing," Joseph told Pharaoh. "God was telling you what he is about to do.
Gen.41.26
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Gen.41.26
The seven healthy cows are seven years and the seven healthy ears of grain are seven years--they're the same dream.
Gen.41.26
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream.
Gen.41.26
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years; the dreams are one.
Gen.41.26
The seven fat cows and the seven plump heads of grain both represent seven years of prosperity.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.27
The seven sick and ugly cows that followed them up are seven years and the seven scrawny ears of grain dried out by the east wind are the same--seven years of famine.
Gen.41.27
The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine.
Gen.41.27
And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine.
Gen.41.27
The seven thin, ugly cows and the seven withered heads of grain represent seven years of famine.
Gen.41.28
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
Gen.41.28
"The meaning is what I said earlier: God is letting Pharaoh in on what he is going to do.
Gen.41.28
"It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Gen.41.28
This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Gen.41.28
This will happen just as I have described it, for God has shown you what he is about to do.
Gen.41.29
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Gen.41.29
Seven years of plenty are on their way throughout Egypt.
Gen.41.29
Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
Gen.41.29
Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;
Gen.41.29
The next seven years will be a period of great prosperity throughout the land of Egypt.
Gen.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;
Gen.41.30
But on their heels will come seven years of famine, leaving no trace of the Egyptian plenty. As the country is emptied by famine,
Gen.41.30
but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.
Gen.41.30
but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.
Gen.41.30
But afterward there will be seven years of famine so great that all the prosperity will be forgotten and wiped out. Famine will destroy the land.
Gen.41.31
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
Gen.41.31
there won't be even a scrap left of the previous plenty--the famine will be total.
Gen.41.31
The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe.
Gen.41.31
So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe.
Gen.41.31
This famine will be so terrible that even the memory of the good years will be erased.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.32
The fact that Pharaoh dreamed the same dream twice emphasizes God's determination to do this and do it soon.
Gen.41.32
The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon.
Gen.41.32
And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Gen.41.32
As for having the dream twice, it means that the matter has been decreed by God and that he will make these events happen soon.
Gen.41.33
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Gen.41.33
"So: Pharaoh needs to look for a wise and experienced man and put him in charge of the country.
Gen.41.33
"And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.
Gen.41.33
"Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Gen.41.33
"My suggestion is that you find the wisest man in Egypt and put him in charge of a nationwide program.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.34
Then Pharaoh needs to appoint managers throughout the country of Egypt to organize it during the years of plenty.
Gen.41.34
Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
Gen.41.34
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.
Gen.41.34
Let Pharaoh appoint officials over the land, and let them collect one-fifth of all the crops during the seven good years.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.35
Their job will be to collect all the food produced in the good years ahead and stockpile the grain under Pharaoh's authority, storing it in the towns for food.
Gen.41.35
They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food.
Gen.41.35
And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
Gen.41.35
Have them gather all the food and grain of these good years into the royal storehouses, and store it away so there will be food in the cities.
Gen.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.
Gen.41.36
This grain will be held back to be used later during the seven years of famine that are coming on Egypt. This way the country won't be devastated by the famine."
Gen.41.36
This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine."
Gen.41.36
Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine."
Gen.41.36
That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come. Otherwise disaster will surely strike the land, and all the people will die."
Gen.41.37
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Gen.41.37
This seemed like a good idea to Pharaoh and his officials.
Gen.41.37
The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.
Gen.41.37
So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
Gen.41.37
Joseph's suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his advisers.
Gen.41.38
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
Gen.41.38
Then Pharaoh said to his officials, "Isn't this the man we need? Are we going to find anyone else who has God's spirit in him like this?"
Gen.41.38
So Pharaoh asked them, "Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?"
Gen.41.38
And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
Gen.41.38
As they discussed who should be appointed for the job, Pharaoh said, "Who could do it better than Joseph? For he is a man who is obviously filled with the spirit of God."
Gen.41.39
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
Gen.41.39
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "You're the man for us. God has given you the inside story--no one is as qualified as you in experience and wisdom.
Gen.41.39
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.
Gen.41.39
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
Gen.41.39
Turning to Joseph, Pharaoh said, "Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, you are the wisest man in the land!
Gen.41.40
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.
Gen.41.40
From now on, you're in charge of my affairs; all my people will report to you. Only as king will I be over you."
Gen.41.40
You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you."
Gen.41.40
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."
Gen.41.40
I hereby appoint you to direct this project. You will manage my household and organize all my people. Only I will have a rank higher than yours."
Gen.41.41
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Gen.41.41
So Pharaoh commissioned Joseph: "I'm putting you in charge of the entire country of Egypt."
Gen.41.41
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt."
Gen.41.41
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."
Gen.41.41
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt."
Gen.41.42
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;
Gen.41.42
Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his finger and slipped it on Joseph's hand. He outfitted him in robes of the best linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
Gen.41.42
Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
Gen.41.42
Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph's hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
Gen.41.42
Then Pharaoh placed his own signet ring on Joseph's finger as a symbol of his authority. He dressed him in beautiful clothing and placed the royal gold chain about his neck.
Gen.41.43
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.
Gen.41.43
He put the second-in-command chariot at his disposal, and as he rode people shouted "Bravo!" Joseph was in charge of the entire country of Egypt.
Gen.41.43
He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and men shouted before him, "Make way!" Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.
Gen.41.43
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.
Gen.41.43
Pharaoh also gave Joseph the chariot of his second-in-command, and wherever he went the command was shouted, "Kneel down!" So Joseph was put in charge of all Egypt.
Gen.41.44
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.
Gen.41.44
