Of Joseph
the Holy Bible

--Genesis--

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. (41:16)

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do. (41:25)

The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven good ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one. (41:26)

And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them [are] seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. (41:27)

This [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God [is] about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh. (41:28)

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: (41:29)

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; (41:30)

And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous. (41:31)

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. (41:32)

Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. (41:33)

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. (41:34)

And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. (41:35)

And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine. (41:36)

And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. (41:37)

And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a one] as this [is], a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]? (41:38)

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art]: (41:39)

--Acts of the Apostles--

And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. (7:10)
