At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river. Gen 20:3Gen 29:14Deu 11:10Est 6:1Exo 1:22Exo 4:9Ezk 29:3Ezk 29:9 Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass. Isa 19:6 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. Gen 41:20-21Gen 41:4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke. 1Ki 3:15 He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good. Deu 32:14 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. Ezk 17:10Ezk 19:12Hos 13:15 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Gen 20:3Gen 37:5 In the morning, 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. Dan 4:7Exo 7:22Dan 1:20Dan 4:5Exo 7:11Isa 29:14Mat 2:1Dan 4:19
Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today. Gen 40:14Gen 40:23Gen 40:1-3 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker. Gen 39:20Gen 40:2-3Gen 37:36 We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream. Gen 40:5-8 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. He interpreted to each man according to his dream. Gen 37:36Gen 40:12-19Gen 39:1Gen 39:20 As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.” Ezk 43:3Gen 40:12Gen 40:20-22Jer 1:10
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. Dan 2:25Psa 113:7-8Psa 105:19-221Sa 2:7-82Ki 25:29Est 5:1Isa 61:3Jer 52:32-33 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.” Dan 5:16Dan 5:12Gen 41:9-13Psa 25:14
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.” 2Co 3:5Gen 40:8Dan 2:47Act 3:12Num 12:61Co 15:10Act 3:7Dan 2:18-23
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river; and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass; Jer 24:1-3Jer 24:5Jer 24:8 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. The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle; 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. Ezk 3:3Isa 9:20Psa 37:19Rev 10:9-10 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good; and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. 2Ki 19:26Gen 41:6Hos 13:15Hos 8:7Hos 9:16Psa 129:6-7 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.” Dan 4:7Gen 41:8Exo 8:19
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh. Dan 2:45Rev 4:1Dan 2:28-29Amo 3:7Dan 2:47Eph 1:17Gen 41:16Isa 41:22-23 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one. Gen 41:2Gen 41:471Co 10:41Jn 5:7Exo 12:11Gen 41:29Gen 41:5Gen 41:53 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. 2Ki 8:12Sa 24:19 That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. Gen 41:25Gen 41:16 Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming. Gen 41:46-47Gen 41:26Gen 41:49 Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, Gen 41:54Gen 47:13Jas 5:17Psa 105:161Ki 17:12Ki 8:12Sa 24:13Gen 41:21 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. Isa 24:201Sa 5:6 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. Num 23:19Isa 46:10-112Co 13:1Isa 14:24-27Mat 24:351Co 2:9Gen 37:7Gen 37:9
“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. Gen 41:39Act 6:3Dan 4:27Deu 1:13Exo 18:19-22 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. Pro 6:6-82Ch 34:122Ki 11:11-12Job 5:20Luk 16:5Neh 11:9Num 31:14Pro 22:3 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. Gen 41:48-49Exo 4:13Gen 41:56Gen 45:6-7 The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.” Gen 47:13-25
The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. Act 7:101Ki 21:22Sa 3:36Jos 22:30Pro 10:20Pro 25:11Psa 105:19 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?” Job 32:8Dan 5:14Dan 5:11Num 27:18Dan 4:18Dan 4:6Dan 4:8-9Dan 6:3 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you. Gen 41:28Gen 41:33Gen 41:25Gen 41:16 You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.” Pro 22:29Act 7:10Psa 105:21-22Dan 5:29Gen 39:4-6Gen 45:8-9Psa 2:12Dan 2:46-48 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” Mat 28:18Php 2:9-11Dan 6:3Gen 42:6Dan 4:2-3Dan 2:7-8Est 10:3Gen 39:22 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. Dan 5:29Dan 5:7Est 3:10Dan 5:16Est 8:2Est 8:10Est 8:15Est 3:12 He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt. Act 7:10Gen 45:26Gen 45:8Gen 42:30Gen 42:33Php 2:10Est 6:8-9Gen 42:6 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.” Psa 105:22Exo 11:7 Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. Gen 46:20Exo 2:16Ezk 30:172Sa 20:262Sa 8:18Act 11:28Gen 14:18Luk 2:1
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. Dan 1:191Ki 12:61Sa 16:212Sa 5:4Gen 37:21Ki 12:8Jud 1:24Luk 21:36 In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly. Gen 26:12Psa 72:16 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. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city. Gen 41:34-36Gen 47:21 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number. Psa 78:271Sa 13:5Gen 22:17Jdg 6:5Jdg 7:12Jer 33:22Job 1:3 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him. Gen 46:20Gen 48:52Sa 8:18Gen 41:45 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, 1 “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.” Psa 30:5Pro 31:7Deu 33:17Gen 41:30Psa 30:11Gen 48:13-14Gen 48:18-20Gen 48:5 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: 2 “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.” Gen 49:22Gen 50:23Gen 17:6Amo 6:6Gen 28:3Isa 40:1-2Psa 105:17-18Act 7:10
The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end. Gen 41:29-31Luk 16:25Psa 73:20 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. Act 7:11Gen 45:11Psa 105:16Gen 41:30Gen 41:27Gen 41:3-4Gen 41:6-7Gen 42:2 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.” Jer 14:1-6Mat 17:5Mat 3:172Ki 6:25-29Col 1:19Gen 41:40-41Jhn 1:14-16Lam 4:3-10 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. Gen 42:6Act 17:26Gen 47:14-24Isa 23:17Luk 21:35Zec 5:3 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
