12	And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.	And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days:
13	In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.	Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14	Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;	But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
15	for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.	For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16	And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.	When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and, behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head:
17	And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.	And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18	And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.	And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:
19	In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.	Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

10	Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.	Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, [both] me and the chief baker:
11	And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.	And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12	And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.	And [there was] there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13	And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.	And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

16	And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.	And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18	And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.	And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19	And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed -- such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.	And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20	And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;	And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21	and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.	And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22	And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.	And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
23	And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;	And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24	and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.	And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told [this] unto the magicians; but [there was] none that could declare [it] to me.
25	And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.	And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do.
26	The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.	The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven good ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one.

29	Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.	Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30	And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.	And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31	And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.	And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous.
32	And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.	And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; [it is] because the thing [is] established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33	And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.	Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34	Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty,	Let Pharaoh do [this], and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

40	Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.	Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

52	And the name of the second he called Ephraim -- For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.	And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53	And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;	And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54	and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
