JOSEPH INTERPRETS PHARAOH'S DREAMS. (Gen 41:25-36)
Joseph said, . . . The dream . . . is one--They both pointed to the same event--a remarkable dispensation of seven years of unexampled abundance, to be followed by a similar period of unparalleled dearth. The repetition of the dream in two different forms was designed to show the absolute certainty and speedy arrival of this public crisis; the interpretation was accompanied by several suggestions of practical wisdom for meeting so great an emergency as was impending. |

| God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do - Joseph thus shows the Egyptian king that though the ordinary cause of plenty or want is the river Nile, yet its inundations are under the direction of God: the dreams are sent by him, not only to signify beforehand the plenty and want, but to show also that all these circumstances, however fortuitous they may appear to man, are under the direction of an overruling Providence. |
25 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], The dream [02472] of Pharaoh [06547] is one [0259]: God [0430] hath shewed [05046] Pharaoh [06547] what he is about to do [06213].
26 The seven [07651] good [02896] kine [06510] are seven [07651] years [08141]; and the seven [07651] good [02896] ears [07641] are seven [07651] years [08141]: the dream [02472] is one [0259].
27 And the seven [07651] thin [07534] and ill favoured [07451] kine [06510] that came up [05927] after them [0310] are seven [07651] years [08141]; and the seven [07651] empty [07386] ears [07641] blasted [07710] with the east wind [06921] shall be seven [07651] years [08141] of famine [07458].
28 This is the thing [01697] which I have spoken [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547]: What God [0430] is about to do [06213] he sheweth [07200] unto Pharaoh [06547].
29 Behold, there come [0935] seven [07651] years [08141] of great [01419] plenty [07647] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]:
30 And there shall arise [06965] after them [0310] seven [07651] years [08141] of famine [07458]; and all the plenty [07647] shall be forgotten [07911] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; and the famine [07458] shall consume [03615] the land [0776];
31 And the plenty [07647] shall not be known [03045] in the land [0776] by reason [06440] of that famine [07458] following [0310] [03651]; for it shall be very [03966] grievous [03515].
32 And for that the dream [02472] was doubled [08138] unto Pharaoh [06547] twice [06471]; it is because the thing [01697] is established [03559] by [05973] God [0430], and God [0430] will shortly [04116] bring it to pass [06213].
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh [06547] look out [07200] a man [0376] discreet [0995] and wise [02450], and set [07896] him over the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
34 Let Pharaoh [06547] do [06213] this, and let him appoint [06485] officers [06496] over the land [0776], and take up the fifth part [02567] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] in the seven [07651] plenteous [07647] years [08141].
35 And let them gather [06908] all the food [0400] of those good [02896] years [08141] that come [0935], and lay up [06651] corn [01250] under the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547], and let them keep [08104] food [0400] in the cities [05892].
36 And that food [0400] shall be for store [06487] to the land [0776] against the seven [07651] years [08141] of famine [07458], which shall be in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; that the land [0776] perish [03772] not through the famine [07458].
