And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be ashamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.

And it happened, about three months afterward, that it was told Judah, saying, Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burned.

When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose things these are. And she said, Please observe. Whose things are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff?

And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She has been more righteous than I have, because I did not give her to my son Shelah. And he never knew her again.

And it happened, in the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.

And when she travailed, it happened that one put out a hand. And the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This one came out first.

And it happened as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, How have you broken a break for yourself? And his name was called Pharez.

And afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And his name was called Zarah.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt. And Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, the chief of the executioners, an Egyptian man, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.

And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. And he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all he did to prosper in his hand.

And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him. And he made him overseer over his house, and he put into his hand all he had.

And it happened from the time he had made him overseer in his house, and over all he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake. And the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.

And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand. And he did not know anything that he had, except the bread which he ate. And Joseph was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.

And after these things it happened that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph. And she said, Lie with me.

But he refused and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not know what is in the house with me, and he has given all that he has into my hand.

There is none greater in this house than I. Neither has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

And it happened as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not listen to her to lie with her, or to be with her.

And it happened about this time that he came into the house to do his work. And none of the men of the house were inside.

And she caught him by his robe, saying, Lie with me. And he left his robe in her hand and fled, and got out.

And it happened when she saw that he had left his robe in her hand, and had fled,

she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to sport with us. He came in to me, to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

And it happened when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his robe with me, and fled, and got out.

And she laid up his robe beside her until his lord came home.

And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant which you have brought to us came in to me to sport with me.

And it happened as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his robe with me and ran out.

And it happened when his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying, Your servant did this to me, his wrath was kindled.

And Joseph's master took him and put him in the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound. And he was there in the prison.

But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

And the keeper of the prison gave all the prisoners in the prison into Joseph's hand. And whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.

The keeper of the prison did not look to anything under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and whatever he did, Jehovah made it to prosper.

And after these things it happened that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and his baker, had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

And Pharaoh was angry against two of his eunuchs, against the chief of the cupbearers and against the chief of the bakers.

And he put them under guard in the house of the chief of the executioners, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

And the chief of the executioners charged Joseph with them, and he served them. And they continued for a time under guard.

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 cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad.

And he asked Pharaoh's eunuchs who were with him under guard in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces sad today?

And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Now tell it to me.

And the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me.

And in the vine were three branches. And it was as if it budded, and its blossom shot up. And the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes.

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.

And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three branches are three days.

Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head and restore you to your place. And you shall deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.

But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

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.

When the chief baker saw the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also saw in my dream, and three baskets of white bread were on my head.

And in the top basket were all kinds of baked foods for Pharaoh. And the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it. The three baskets are three days.

Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree. And the birds shall eat your flesh from off you.

And it happened on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast to all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer, and of the chief baker, among his servants.

And he restored the chief cupbearer back into his cupbearer office again. And he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

And it happened at the end of two years of days, Pharaoh dreamed. And behold, he stood by the river.

And behold! There came up out of the river seven cows beautiful of form, and fat of flesh. And they fed in the reeds!

And behold! Seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil in appearance, and lean of flesh! And they stood by the other cows on the river bank.

And the evil-appearing and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven beautifully formed and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.

And he slept and dreamed the second time. And behold! Seven ears of grain came up on one stock, fat and good!

And behold! Seven thin ears, and blasted with the east wind, sprang up after them!

And the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

And it happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me under guard in the chief of the executioner's house, me and the chief baker.

And we dreamed a dream one night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew, a slave to the chief of the executioners. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.

And it happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they hurried him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and none can interpret it. And I have heard it about you, saying, you can understand a dream to interpret it.

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Not I. God shall answer the welfare of Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold! I stood upon the bank of the river.

And behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, beautiful in appearance and fat of flesh. And they fed in the reeds.

And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and evil of appearance, and lean of flesh, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.

And the lean and the evil-appearing cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

And when they had eaten them up, it could not be seen that they had eaten them; but they were still evil of appearance, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stock, full and good.

And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted by the east wind, sprang up after them.

And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was none that could open it to me.

And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

The seven good cows are seven years. And the seven good ears are seven years. The dream is one.

And the seven thin and evil-appearing cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

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 the plenty shall not be known in the land because of the famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

And since the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a man who is discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Let Pharaoh act, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

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.

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

And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find any man like this, in whom the Spirit of God is?

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has shown you all this, no one is as discreet and wise as you.

You shall be over my house, and all my people shall kiss the hand at your word. Only in the throne will I be greater than you.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand. And he dressed him with fine linen robes, and put a gold chain around his neck.

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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without a word from you, no man shall lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah. And he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On, for his wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

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

And in the seven years of plenty, the earth brought forth by handfuls.

And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and he put food in the cities. He put the food of the field which was around every city; he put it in among it.

And Joseph gathered grain like the sand of the sea, very much, until he quit numbering it; for it was without number.

And two sons were born to Joseph before the years of famine came, whom Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him.

And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh, saying, For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house.

And the name of the second he called Ephraim, saying, For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
