¹ And God spoke all these words, saying,

² I^▵ am Jehovah thy God, who brought· thee ·out of the land of Egypt, out·​·of the house of servitude^*.

³ Thou shalt have^◦ no^◦ other gods before My faces.

⁴ Thou shalt not make to thee a graven image, nor^◦ any figure of what is in the heavens above, or what is in the earth beneath, or what is in the waters beneath the earth.

⁵ Thou shalt not bow· thyself ·down to them, nor serve them; for I^▵, Jehovah, thy God am a jealous God^◦, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth generation^* of^◦ those who hate Me;

⁶ and doing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

⁷ Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold· him ·innocent who takes His name in vain.

⁸ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep· it ·holy.

⁹ Six days shalt thou serve, and do all thy work^▵*;

¹⁰ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of^◦ Jehovah thy God; thou shalt not do any work^▵, thou^◦, nor^◦ thy son nor^◦ thy daughter, thy manservant nor^◦ thy maidservant, nor^◦ thy beast, nor^◦ thy sojourner who is in thy gates;

¹¹ for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on^◦ the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and made· it ·holy.

¹² Honor^◦ thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be prolonged upon the ground that Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

¹³ Thou shalt not murder.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not commit·​·adultery.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not steal.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not answer against^◦ thy neighbor^▵ as a false witness^*.

^{17 14} Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s^▵ house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s^▵ wife, nor^◦ his manservant, nor^◦ his maidservant, nor^◦ his ox, nor^◦ his donkey, nor^◦ anything^◦ that is thy neighbor’s^▵.

^{18 15} And all the people saw the voices, and the torches, and the voice of the shophar^*, and the mountain smoking; and the people saw, and they quaked, and stood far·​·off.

^{19 16} And they said to^▵ Moses, Speak thou^◦ with us, and we will hear; and let not God Speak with us, lest perchance we die.

^{20 17} And Moses said to^▵ the people, Fear not; for God has come for the sake of tempting you, and so·​·that^◦ the fear of Him may be before your faces, that you sin not^▵.

^{21 18} And the people stood far·​·off, and Moses approached the dense·​·darkness where God was.

^{22 19} And Jehovah said to^▵ Moses, Thus shalt thou say to^▵ the sons of Israel, You^◦ have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.

^{23 20} You shall not make with Me gods of silver and gods of gold; you shall not make them to you.

^{24 21} An altar of ground thou shalt make to Me, and shalt sacrifice on it thy burnt·​·offerings, and thy peace·​·offerings, thy flocks, and thy herds; in every place where I shall cause My name to be remembered, I will come to thee, and I will bless thee.

^{25 22} And if thou make for Me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build it of hewn^◦ stones; for if thou move thy chisel on it, then thou wilt profane it.

^{26 23} And thou shalt not go·​·up on stairs on My altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.

¹ It happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.

² Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.

³ Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

⁴ The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

⁵ He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

⁶ Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

⁷ The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

⁸ It happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

⁹ Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.

¹⁰ Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

¹¹ We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹² There was with us there a young man, a 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 interpreted.

¹³ It happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was: he restored me to my office, and he hanged him."

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

¹⁵ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

¹⁶ Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

¹⁷ Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:

¹⁸ and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass,

¹⁹ and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

²⁰ The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,

²¹ and when they had eaten them up, it couldn't be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

²² I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:

²³ and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

²⁴ The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

²⁵ Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

²⁶ The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

²⁷ The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

²⁸ That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

²⁹ Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

³⁰ There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

³¹ and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

³² The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

³³ "Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt's produce in the seven plenteous years.

³⁵ Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

³⁶ The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish through the famine."

³⁷ The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

³⁸ Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"

³⁹ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

⁴² Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph'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 Egypt.

⁴⁴ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."

⁴⁵ Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁷ In the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly.

⁴⁸ 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 around every city, he laid up in the same.

⁴⁹ Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

⁵⁰ To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

⁵¹ Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, "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 Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

⁵³ The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

⁵⁴ The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁵ When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."

⁵⁶ The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁷ All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
