Pharaoh's Dreams and the Seven Years

^{Genesis 41:1} And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

^{Genesis 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.

^{Genesis 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.

^{Genesis 41:16} And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

^{Genesis 41:29} Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

^{Genesis 41:33} Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

^{Genesis 41:37} And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

^{Genesis 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;

^{Genesis 41:46} And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

^{Genesis 41:47} And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

^{Genesis 41:49} And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.

^{Genesis 41:54} And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
