Genesis_Chapter 41
After two years, the Pharaoh had a dream of himself standing by the river,
Seven cows came up from the river, beautiful and plump, grazing among the reeds.
Then seven cows came up from the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the river with the seven cows.
These ugly and skinny seven cows ate up the beautiful and fat seven cows. The Pharaoh woke up.
He fell asleep again, and in his second dream, he saw seven tassels growing on a wheat plant, which was both plump and beautiful,
Then seven tassels grew again, thin and weak, and scorched by the east wind.
This weak tassel swallowed up the seven plump and full tassels. The Pharaoh woke up, but it was a dream.
In the morning, Pharaoh’s heart was restless, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could explain them to Pharaoh.
At that time, the wine steward said to Pharaoh, “I remember my sins today.”.
Once upon a time, Pharaoh was angry with his servants and placed me and the chief baker in the prison set up by the chief guard’s mansion.
We both had one dream at night, and each dream had an explanation.
There was a young Hebrew man with us who was a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him and he interpreted our dreams according to their dreams.
Later, just as he achieved for us with circular solutions. I have been reinstated to my original position, and the chief cook has been hung up.
So Pharaoh sent someone to call Joseph, and they quickly took him out of prison. He shaved his head, shaved his face, changed his clothes, and came in front of Pharaoh.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have a dream that no one can interpret.”. I heard people say that you can understand dreams by listening to them.
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, This does not concern me; God will answer Pharaoh with peace.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed that I was standing by the river.”,
Seven cows came up from the river, fat and beautiful, grazing among the reeds.
Then seven more cows came up, weak, ugly, and skinny. Throughout Egypt, I had never seen such a bad thing.
This skinny and ugly cow ate up the seven fat cows that came first,
After eating it, I couldn’t tell it was eaten, and the ugly appearance remained the same as before. I woke up.
I dreamt of another wheat tree, which grew seven tassels, full and beautiful,
Then seven tassels grew, withered and weak, scorched by the east wind.
These delicate tassels swallowed up the seven beautiful tassels. I told the sorcerer about this dream, but no one could explain it to me.
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dream is one.”. God has instructed Pharaoh what to do.
Seven good cows are seven years old, and seven good tassels are also seven years old. This dream is one.
The seven skinny and ugly cows that came up afterwards were seven years, and the seven empty ears charred by the east wind were also seven years, all of which were seven years of famine.
This is what I said to Pharaoh: God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Seven great years of abundance will come throughout Egypt,
Then there will be seven more years of famine, so that the land of Egypt will forget its previous harvest, and the whole land will be destroyed by famine.
Due to the severe famine that followed, I no longer felt the previous harvest.
As for Pharaoh’s two dreams, it was because God had decreed this thing, and it would be accomplished quickly.
Therefore, Pharaoh should choose a wise and wise person to govern the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh should do this and send officials to manage the land. During the seven bountiful years, requisition one-fifth of the land of Egypt,
Tell them to gather all the grain for the coming abundant years, accumulate five grains, and store them in each city for food, and return them to the hands of Pharaoh.
The accumulated food can prevent the land of Egypt from being destroyed by famine for the next seven years of famine.
Pharaoh and all his servants saw this as wonderful.
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a person like this who has the Spirit of God in him?”?
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, it is evident that no one is as wise and wise as you.”.
You can take care of my home. My people will obey your words. On the throne alone, I am older than you.
Pharaoh said to Joseph again, ‘I have sent you to rule over all the land of Egypt.’.
Pharaoh took off the ring he had printed on his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand. He dressed him in fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck,
And he called Joseph to sit in his passenger car, and those who shouted in front called out, Kneel down. In this way, Pharaoh sent him to govern all the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and in all the land of Egypt, without your command, no one is allowed to do anything without your permission.”.
Pharaoh gave Joseph a name, Zaphanatepanea, and gave him Asenah, the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On, as his wife. Joseph went out to patrol the land of Egypt.
Joseph was thirty years old when he saw King Pharaoh of Egypt. He went out from before Pharaoh and traveled throughout all the land of Egypt.
Within seven years of abundant harvest, the earth’s output was extremely abundant and abundant,
Joseph gathered all the grain from the seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in every city. The grain in the fields around each city is stored in this city.
Joseph has accumulated a great amount of grain, like the sand by the sea, which cannot be counted because the grain is countless.
Before the famine came, Asenah, the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On, gave birth to two sons for Joseph.
Joseph named his eldest son Manasseh, because he said, God has made me forget all my troubles and all my father’s family.
He named his second son Ephraim, because he said, God has made me prosperous in the place of suffering.
After the seven bountiful years in Egypt,
Seven years of famine have arrived. As Joseph said, there is famine everywhere. Only Egypt has food throughout its entire territory.
When there was a famine throughout Egypt, all the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to them, “Go to Joseph, and do everything he says.”.
At that time, famine spread throughout the world, and Joseph opened various warehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians. There is a severe famine in Egypt.
People from all over the world went to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe throughout the world.
