41 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

37This proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.JOSEPH: Governor of Egypt. Gn.41.37-57וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי פַרְעֹה וּבְעֵינֵי כָּל־עֲבָדָיו׃
38And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?" וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הֲנִמְצָא כָזֶה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים בֹּו׃
39So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are; וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף אַחֲרֵי הֹודִיעַ אֱלֹהִים אֹותְךָ אֶת־כָּל־זֹאת אֵין־נָבֹון וְחָכָם כָּמֹוךָ׃
40you shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command; only as regards the throne will I be greater than you." אַתָּה תִּהְיֶה עַל־בֵּיתִי וְעַל־פִּיךָ יִשַּׁק כָּל־עַמִּי רַק הַכִּסֵּא אֶגְדַּל מִמֶּךָּ׃
41And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt." וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף רְאֵה נָתַתִּי אֹתְךָ עַל כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃
42Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in garments of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; וַיָּסַר פַּרְעֹה אֶת־טַבַּעְתֹּו מֵעַל יָדֹו וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָהּ עַל־יַד יֹוסֵף וַיַּלְבֵּשׁ אֹתֹו בִּגְדֵי־שֵׁשׁ וַיָּשֶׂם רְבִד הַזָּהָב עַל־צַוָּארֹו׃
43and he made him to ride in his second chariot; and they cried before him, "Bow the knee!" Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt. וַיַּרְכֵּב אֹתֹו בְּמִרְכֶּבֶת הַמִּשְׁנֶה אֲשֶׁר־לֹו וַיִּקְרְאוּ לְפָנָיו אַבְרֵךְ וְנָתֹון אֹתֹו עַל כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃
44Moreover Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt." וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף אֲנִי פַרְעֹה וּבִלְעָדֶיךָ לֹא־יָרִים אִישׁ אֶת־יָדֹו וְאֶת־רַגְלֹו בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃
45And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potipher a priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. וַיִּקְרָא פַרְעֹה שֵׁם־יֹוסֵף צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ וַיִּתֶּן־לֹו אֶת־אָסְנַת בַּת־פֹּוטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹן לְאִשָּׁה וַיֵּצֵא יֹוסֵף עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃
46Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt. וְיֹוסֵף בֶּן־שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה בְּעָמְדֹו לִפְנֵי פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרָיִם וַיֵּצֵא יֹוסֵף מִלִּפְנֵי פַרְעֹה וַיַּעֲבֹר בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃
47During the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly, וַתַּעַשׂ הָאָרֶץ בְּשֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הַשָּׂבָע לִקְמָצִים׃
48and he gathered up all the food of the seven years when there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and stored up food in the cities; he stored up in every city the food from the fields around it. וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת־כָּל־אֹכֶל שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיִּתֶּן־אֹכֶל בֶּעָרִים אֹכֶל שְׂדֵה־הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹתֶיהָ נָתַן בְּתֹוכָהּ׃
49And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured. וַיִּצְבֹּר יֹוסֵף בָּר כְּחֹול הַיָּם הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד עַד כִּי־חָדַל לִסְפֹּר כִּי־אֵין מִסְפָּר׃
50Before the year of famine came, Joseph had two sons, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potipher a priest of On, bore to him. וּלְיֹוסֵף יֻלַּד שְׁנֵי בָנִים בְּטֶרֶם תָּבֹוא שְׁנַת הָרָעָב אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה־לֹּו אָסְנַת בַּת־פֹּוטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹון׃
51Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's house." וַיִּקְרָא יֹוסֵף אֶת־שֵׁם הַבְּכֹור מְנַשֶּׁה כִּי־נַשַּׁנִי אֱלֹהִים אֶת־כָּל־עֲמָלִי וְאֵת כָּל־בֵּית אָבִי׃
52The name of the second he called Ephraim, "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction." וְאֵת שֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִי קָרָא אֶפְרָיִם כִּי־הִפְרַנִי אֱלֹהִים בְּאֶרֶץ עָנְיִי׃
53The seven years of plenty that prevailed in the land of Egypt came to an end; וַתִּכְלֶינָה שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הַשָּׂבָע אֲשֶׁר הָיָה בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃
54and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. וַתְּחִלֶּינָה שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הָרָעָב לָבֹוא כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר יֹוסֵף וַיְהִי רָעָב בְּכָל־הָאֲרָצֹות וּבְכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם הָיָה לָחֶם׃
55When 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." וַתִּרְעַב כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיִּצְעַק הָעָם אֶל־פַּרְעֹה לַלָּחֶם וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה לְכָל־מִצְרַיִם לְכוּ אֶל־יֹוסֵף אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמַר לָכֶם תַּעֲשׂוּ׃
56So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. וְהָרָעָב הָיָה עַל כָּל־פְּנֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיִּפְתַּח יֹוסֵף אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם וַיִּשְׁבֹּר לְמִצְרַיִם וַיֶּחֱזַק הָרָעָב בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃
57Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth. וְכָל־הָאָרֶץ בָּאוּ מִצְרַיְמָה לִשְׁבֹּר אֶל־יֹוסֵף כִּי־חָזַק הָרָעָב בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ׃

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
