Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father,

"Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenteousness throughout all the land of Egypt.

And there shall arise after them seven years of hunger. So that all the plenteousness shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the hunger shall consume the land:

so that the plenteousness shall not be once a seen in the land, by reason of that hunger that shall come after, for it shall be exceeding great.

Now therefore, let Pharaoh provide for a man of understanding and wisdom, and set him over the land of Egypt.

And let Pharaoh make officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years

and there let them keep it: that there may be food in store in the land, against the seven years of hunger which shall come in the land of Egypt, and that the land perish not through hunger."

And he said unto Joseph, "Behold, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt."

and set him upon the best chariot that he had, save one. And they cried before him "Abrech!" And that Pharaoh had made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "I am Pharaoh; without thy will, shall no man lift up either his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

And he called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. Then went Joseph abroad in the land of Egypt.

And he was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And then Joseph departed from Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

and gathered up all the food of the seven plenteous years which were in the land of Egypt and put it into the cities. And he put the food of the fields that grew round about every city, even in the same.

When Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them: But made strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them saying, "Whence come ye?" And they said, "Out of the land of Canaan, to buy victuals."

And Joseph remembered his dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, "Ye are spies, and to see where the land is weak is your coming."

And he said unto them, "Nay, verily, but even to see where the land is weak is your coming."

And they said, "We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is yet with our father, and one no man knoweth where he is."
