And Joseph will come and announce to Pharaoh, and will say, My father and my brethren, and their sheep and their cattle and all which is to them, came from the land of Canaan, and behold, in the land of Goshen. And he took from the whole number of his brethren five men and set them before Pharaoh. And Pharaoh will say to his brethren, What your work? and they will say to Pharaoh, Thy servants were feeding sheep, also we, also our fathers. read more.
And they will say to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land we came: for no pasture is to the sheep which are to thy servants, for the famine was heavy in the land of Canaan: and at this time now will thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. And Pharaoh will speak to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren came to thee. This land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell; they shall dwell in the land of Goshen; and if thou knowest and there is among them men of strength, set them leaders of the cattle which are to me. And Joseph will bring Jacob his father and will set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob will bless Pharaoh. And Pharaoh will say to Jacob, How many the days of the years of thy life? And Jacob will say to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning, thirty and a hundred years: little and evil were the days of the years of my life, and they reached not the days of the years of the life of my fathers in their sojournings. And Jacob will bless Pharaoh, and he will go out from before Pharaoh. And Joseph will place his father and his brethren, and will give to them possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, according to what Pharaoh commanded. And Joseph will nourish his father and his brethren, and all the house of his father, with bread according to the mouth of the little ones.


And Pharaoh will send and call Joseph, and they will cause him to run from the pit; and he will be shaved and will change his garments; and he will come to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, I dreamed a dream, and there is none interpreting it, and I heard concerning thee, saying, Thou wilt hear a dream to interpret it And Joseph will answer Pharaoh, saying, Not in me: God. will answer Pharaoh with peace. read more.
And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, In my dream I stood by the lip of the river And behold, from the river came up seven heifers, fat of flesh and fair of form, and they will feed in marsh grass. And behold, seven other heifers coming up after them, poor and evil exceedingly, in form, and thin in flesh I saw not like them in all the land of Egypt for evil. And the heifers thin and evil will devour the first seven fat heifers. And they shall come into their belly, and they shall not know that they came into their belly; and evil of form as that in the beginning. And I shall awake. And I shall see in my dream, and behold, seven ears coming up in one stalk, full and good. And behold, seven ears dry, thin, blasted by the east, springing up after them. And the thin ears will swallow the seven good ears: and I spake to the sacred scribes, and there was none announcing to me. And Joseph will say to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, one: this which he did; God announces to Pharaoh. The seven good heifers, they are seven years; and the seven good ears, they are seven years: this dream one. And the seven heifers, thin and evil, coming up after them, they are seven years; and the seven ears, thin, blasted by the east, shall be seven years of famine. This the word which I spake to Pharaoh: what God did, he showed Pharaoh. Behold, seven years coming of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt And seven years of famine arose after them, and all the plenty was forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine consumed the land. And the plenty shall not be known in the land on account of the famine after this; for it shall be exceedingly heavy. And because of the repeating of Pharaoh's dream twice, that the word was prepared from God; and God is hastening to do it And now will Pharaoh look out a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt And will Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, exacting a fifth part of the land of Egypt, in the seven years of plenty. And they shall gather all the food of these good years coming, and they shall heap up the grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and they shall watch food in the cities. And the food was for a deposit to the land, for the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be cut off in the famine. And the word will be good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh will say to his servants, Shall we find such as this man which has the spirit of God in him? And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, After that God showed thee all this, none discerning and wise as thou. Thou shalt be over my house, and to thy mouth all my people shall bend: only upon the throne I shall be great above thee. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, See, I gave thee over all the land of Egypt And Pharaoh will remove his signet ring from his hand, and will give it upon Joseph's hand; and will put upon him a white garment, and will put a gold collar about his neck. And he will cause him to ride in the second chariot which is to him. And they will cry out before him, Aback. And he gave him over all the land of Egypt.

And they will come forth to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying, So shall ye say to Joseph, I pray thee now take away the trespass of thy brethren and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and at this time now take away upon the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph will weep in their speaking to him. And they will come and will fall down before him, and they will say, Behold, we are for servants to thee. read more.
And Joseph will say to them, Ye shall not fear, for I am for God. And you, ye even purposed evil against me; God purposed it for good, for the sake of doing as this day, to preserve alive much people. And now ye shall not fear: I will give you to eat, and your little ones. And he will comfort them, and will speak to their hearts.


And Pharaoh will remove his signet ring from his hand, and will give it upon Joseph's hand; and will put upon him a white garment, and will put a gold collar about his neck.

And Joseph will answer Pharaoh, saying, Not in me: God. will answer Pharaoh with peace.

And God will send me before you to put for you a remnant upon the earth, and to preserve life for you by a great deliverance. And now not you sent me here, but God: and he placed me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt. Hasten and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus said thy son Joseph, God placed me for lord to all Egypt; come down to me, thou wilt not remain.


And it will be after these words, and his lord's wife will lift up her eyes to Joseph, and she will say, Lie with me. And he will refuse, and will say to his lord's wife, Behold, my lord knew not what is with me in the house, and all which is to him he gave into my hand; Nothing is great in this house above me: and he kept not back anything from me except thee, because thou his wife: and how shall I do this great evil and sin before God? read more.
And it will be in her speaking to Joseph day by day, and he listened not to her to he by her, to be with her. And it will be about this day, and he will come into the house to do his work: and no man from the men of the house there in the house. And she will seize him by his garment, saying, Lie with me. And he will let go his garment in her hand, and will flee and come forth without And it will be when she saw that he let go his garment in her hand and will flee without,



And he took to himself his wife, and knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and be called his name Jesus.

And no bread in all the land; for the famine was heavy exceedingly, and the land of Egypt was exhausted, and the land of Canaan, from before the famine. And Joseph will gather together all the silver being found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph will bring the silver to the house of Pharaoh. And the silver will be spent from the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan; and all the Egyptians will go to Joseph, saying, Give to us bread: and for what shall we die before thee? for the silver failed. read more.

And they will bring their cattle to Joseph, and Joseph will give to them bread for horses, and for the possession of the sheep, and for the possession of the cattle, and for the asses; and he will feed them with bread, for all their cattle for that year. And that year will be ended, and they will come to him in the second year, and will say to him, We will not hide from my lord if the silver was spent; and the possession of the cattle to my lord; and there was not left before my lord except but our bodies and our lands. For what shall we die before thine eyes, also we, also our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh: and give seed, and we shall live and not die, and the land shall not be laid waste. And Joseph will buy all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold each his field, for the famine was strong over them: and the land will be to Pharaoh. And the people, he made them pass over to the cities from the extremity of the bounds of Egypt, and even to the extremity. Only the land of the priests he bought not; for to the priests a portion from Pharaoh, and they ate their portion which Pharaoh gave to them; for this they sold not their lands. And Joseph will say to the people, Behold, I bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, seed for you, and sow ye the land. And it was in the produce, and ye gave the fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be to you, for the seed of the field and for your food, and for those in your houses, and for food to your little ones. And they will say, Thou didst preserve us alive: shall we find grace in the eyes of my lord, we were servants to Pharaoh. And Joseph set it for an ordinance to this day, of the land of Egypt, for a fifth to Pharaoh; only the land of the priests alone was not to Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh's cup in my hand; and I shall take the grapes and press them into Pharaoh's cup, and I shall give the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

And it will be in the third day, the day of the birth of Pharaoh, and he will make a drinking to all his servants; and he will lilt up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers, in the midst of his servants.

And there with us a Hebrew youth, servant to the chief of the cooks: and we shall relate to him, and he will interpret to us our dreams; and he interpreted a man according to his dream.

And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, I dreamed a dream, and there is none interpreting it, and I heard concerning thee, saying, Thou wilt hear a dream to interpret it And Joseph will answer Pharaoh, saying, Not in me: God. will answer Pharaoh with peace. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, In my dream I stood by the lip of the river And behold, from the river came up seven heifers, fat of flesh and fair of form, and they will feed in marsh grass. And behold, seven other heifers coming up after them, poor and evil exceedingly, in form, and thin in flesh I saw not like them in all the land of Egypt for evil.

And I shall see in my dream, and behold, seven ears coming up in one stalk, full and good. And behold, seven ears dry, thin, blasted by the east, springing up after them. And the thin ears will swallow the seven good ears: and I spake to the sacred scribes, and there was none announcing to me.

The seven good heifers, they are seven years; and the seven good ears, they are seven years: this dream one. And the seven heifers, thin and evil, coming up after them, they are seven years; and the seven ears, thin, blasted by the east, shall be seven years of famine. This the word which I spake to Pharaoh: what God did, he showed Pharaoh. Behold, seven years coming of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt And seven years of famine arose after them, and all the plenty was forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine consumed the land. And the plenty shall not be known in the land on account of the famine after this; for it shall be exceedingly heavy.

And they shall gather all the food of these good years coming, and they shall heap up the grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and they shall watch food in the cities. And the food was for a deposit to the land, for the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be cut off in the famine. And the word will be good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

And Joseph will buy all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold each his field, for the famine was strong over them: and the land will be to Pharaoh. And the people, he made them pass over to the cities from the extremity of the bounds of Egypt, and even to the extremity. Only the land of the priests he bought not; for to the priests a portion from Pharaoh, and they ate their portion which Pharaoh gave to them; for this they sold not their lands. And Joseph will say to the people, Behold, I bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, seed for you, and sow ye the land. And it was in the produce, and ye gave the fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be to you, for the seed of the field and for your food, and for those in your houses, and for food to your little ones. And they will say, Thou didst preserve us alive: shall we find grace in the eyes of my lord, we were servants to Pharaoh. And Joseph set it for an ordinance to this day, of the land of Egypt, for a fifth to Pharaoh; only the land of the priests alone was not to Pharaoh.

And it will be after these words, and his lord's wife will lift up her eyes to Joseph, and she will say, Lie with me.


And Joseph will say to them, Ye shall not fear, for I am for God. And you, ye even purposed evil against me; God purposed it for good, for the sake of doing as this day, to preserve alive much people.


And now ye shall not fear: I will give you to eat, and your little ones. And he will comfort them, and will speak to their hearts.

And Pharaoh will say to his servants, Shall we find such as this man which has the spirit of God in him?
