Genesis 41:37-57 (Hebrew Names Version)

One verse per line

37 The thing was good in the eyes of Par`oh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 Par`oh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?" 39 Par`oh said to Yosef, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you. 40 You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you." 41 Par`oh said to Yosef, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Mitzrayim." 42 Par`oh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Yosef's hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck, 43 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, "Bow the knee!" He set him over all the land of Mitzrayim. 44 Par`oh said to Yosef, "I am Par`oh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Mitzrayim." 45 Par`oh called Yosef's name Tzafenat-Pa`neach; and he gave him Asenat, the daughter of Potiphera Kohen of On as a wife. Yosef went out over the land of Mitzrayim. 46 Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Par`oh king of Mitzrayim. Yosef went out from the presence of Par`oh, and went throughout all the land of Mitzrayim. 47 In the seven plenteous years the eretz brought forth by handfuls. 48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Mitzrayim, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same. 49 Yosef laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number. 50 To Yosef were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenat, the daughter of Potiphera Kohen of On, bore to him. 51 Yosef called the name of the firstborn Menashsheh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house." 52 The name of the second, he called Efrayim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction." 53 The seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Mitzrayim, came to an end. 54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Yosef had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Mitzrayim there was bread. 55 When all the land of Mitzrayim was famished, the people cried to Par`oh for bread, and Par`oh said to all the Mitzrim, "Go to Yosef. What he says to you, do." 56 The famine was over all the surface of the eretz. Yosef opened all the store-houses, and sold to the Mitzrim. The famine was severe in the land of Mitzrayim. 57 All countries came into Mitzrayim, to Yosef, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the eretz.
