01:041:046 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.
01:041:047 And in the seven plenteous years the earth
brought forth by
handfuls.
01:041:048 And he gathered up all the food of the
seven years, which were
in
the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities:
the
food
of the field, which was round about every city, laid
he
up
in the same.
01:041:049 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of
the sea, very much,
until
he left numbering; for it was without number.
01:041:050 And unto Joseph were born two sons before
the years of famine
came,
which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of
On
bare
unto him.
01:041:051 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn
Manasseh: For God,
said
he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s
house.
01:041:052 And the name of the second called he Ephraim:
For God hath
caused
me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
01:041:053 And the seven years of plenteousness, that
was in the land of
Egypt,
were ended.
01:041:054 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.
01:041:055 And when all the land of Egypt was famished,
the people cried
to
Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the
Egyptians,
Go
unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
01:041:056 And the famine was over all the face of
the earth: and Joseph
opened
all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and
the
famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
01:041:057 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph
for to buy corn;
because
that the famine was so sore in all lands.
01:042:001 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn
in Egypt, Jacob said
unto
his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
01:042:002 And he said, Behold, I have heard that
there is corn in Egypt:
get
you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that
we may
live,
and not die.
01:042:003 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
01:042:004 But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob
sent not with his
brethren;
for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
01:042:005 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn
among those that came:
for
the famine was in the land of Canaan.
01:042:006 And Joseph was the governor over the land,
and he it was that
sold
to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s
brethren
came,
and bowed down themselves before him with their faces
to
the
earth.
