|
| 37 | The plan pleased Pharaoh and all his courtiers, | JOSEPH: Governor of Egypt. Gn.41.37-57 | וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי פַרְעֹה וּבְעֵינֵי כָּל־עֲבָדָיו׃ |
|
| 38 | and he said to them, 'Can we find a man like this man, one who has the spirit of a god Or of God in him?' | | וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הֲנִמְצָא כָזֶה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים בֹּו׃ |
|
| 39 | He said to Joseph, 'Since a god Or God has made all this known to you, there is no one so shrewd and intelligent as you. | | וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף אַחֲרֵי הֹודִיעַ אֱלֹהִים אֹותְךָ אֶת־כָּל־זֹאת אֵין־נָבֹון וְחָכָם כָּמֹוךָ׃ |
|
| 40 | You shall be in charge of my household, and all my people will depend on your every word. Only my royal throne shall make me greater than you.' | | אַתָּה תִּהְיֶה עַל־בֵּיתִי וְעַל־פִּיךָ יִשַּׁק כָּל־עַמִּי רַק הַכִּסֵּא אֶגְדַּל מִמֶּךָּ׃ |
|
| 41 | Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'I hereby give you authority over the whole land of Egypt.' | | וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף רְאֵה נָתַתִּי אֹתְךָ עַל כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 42 | He took off his signet-ring and put it on Joseph's finger, he had him dressed in fine linen, and hung a gold chain round his neck. | | וַיָּסַר פַּרְעֹה אֶת־טַבַּעְתֹּו מֵעַל יָדֹו וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָהּ עַל־יַד יֹוסֵף וַיַּלְבֵּשׁ אֹתֹו בִּגְדֵי־שֵׁשׁ וַיָּשֶׂם רְבִד הַזָּהָב עַל־צַוָּארֹו׃ |
|
| 43 | He mounted him in his viceroy's chariot and men cried 'Make way!' before him. Thus Pharaoh made him ruler over all Egypt | | וַיַּרְכֵּב אֹתֹו בְּמִרְכֶּבֶת הַמִּשְׁנֶה אֲשֶׁר־לֹו וַיִּקְרְאוּ לְפָנָיו אַבְרֵךְ וְנָתֹון אֹתֹו עַל כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 44 | and said to him, 'I am the Pharaoh. Without your consent no man shall lift hand or foot throughout Egypt.' | | וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף אֲנִי פַרְעֹה וּבִלְעָדֶיךָ לֹא־יָרִים אִישׁ אֶת־יָדֹו וְאֶת־רַגְלֹו בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 45 | Pharaoh named him Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him as wife Asenath the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. And Joseph's authority extended over the whole of Egypt. | | וַיִּקְרָא פַרְעֹה שֵׁם־יֹוסֵף צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ וַיִּתֶּן־לֹו אֶת־אָסְנַת בַּת־פֹּוטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹן לְאִשָּׁה וַיֵּצֵא יֹוסֵף עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 46 | Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. When he took his leave of the king, he made a tour of inspection through the country. | | וְיֹוסֵף בֶּן־שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה בְּעָמְדֹו לִפְנֵי פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרָיִם וַיֵּצֵא יֹוסֵף מִלִּפְנֵי פַרְעֹה וַיַּעֲבֹר בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 47 | During the seven years of plenty there were abundant harvests, | | וַתַּעַשׂ הָאָרֶץ בְּשֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הַשָּׂבָע לִקְמָצִים׃ |
|
| 48 | and Joseph gathered all the food produced in Egypt during those years and stored it in the cities, putting in each the food from the surrounding country. | | וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת־כָּל־אֹכֶל שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיִּתֶּן־אֹכֶל בֶּעָרִים אֹכֶל שְׂדֵה־הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹתֶיהָ נָתַן בְּתֹוכָהּ׃ |
|
| 49 | He stored the grain in huge quantities; it was like the sand of the sea, so much that he stopped measuring: it was beyond all measure. | | וַיִּצְבֹּר יֹוסֵף בָּר כְּחֹול הַיָּם הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד עַד כִּי־חָדַל לִסְפֹּר כִּי־אֵין מִסְפָּר׃ |
|
| 50 | Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. | | וּלְיֹוסֵף יֻלַּד שְׁנֵי בָנִים בְּטֶרֶם תָּבֹוא שְׁנַת הָרָעָב אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה־לֹּו אָסְנַת בַּת־פֹּוטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹון׃ |
|
| 51 | He named the elder Manasseh That is Causing to forget, 'for', he said, 'God has caused me to forget all my troubles and my father's family.' | | וַיִּקְרָא יֹוסֵף אֶת־שֵׁם הַבְּכֹור מְנַשֶּׁה כִּי־נַשַּׁנִי אֱלֹהִים אֶת־כָּל־עֲמָלִי וְאֵת כָּל־בֵּית אָבִי׃ |
|
| 52 | He named the second Ephraim That is Fruit, 'for', he said, 'God has made me fruitful in the land of my hardships.' | | וְאֵת שֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִי קָרָא אֶפְרָיִם כִּי־הִפְרַנִי אֱלֹהִים בְּאֶרֶץ עָנְיִי׃ |
|
| 53 | When the seven years of plenty in Egypt came to an end, | | וַתִּכְלֶינָה שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הַשָּׂבָע אֲשֶׁר הָיָה בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 54 | seven years of famine began, as Joseph had foretold. There was famine in every country, but throughout Egypt there was bread. | | וַתְּחִלֶּינָה שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הָרָעָב לָבֹוא כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר יֹוסֵף וַיְהִי רָעָב בְּכָל־הָאֲרָצֹות וּבְכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם הָיָה לָחֶם׃ |
|
| 55 | So when the famine spread through all Egypt, the people appealed to Pharaoh for bread, and he ordered them to go to Joseph and do as he told them. | | וַתִּרְעַב כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיִּצְעַק הָעָם אֶל־פַּרְעֹה לַלָּחֶם וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה לְכָל־מִצְרַיִם לְכוּ אֶל־יֹוסֵף אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמַר לָכֶם תַּעֲשׂוּ׃ |
|
| 56 | In every region there was famine, and Joseph opened all the granaries and sold corn to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe. | | וְהָרָעָב הָיָה עַל כָּל־פְּנֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיִּפְתַּח יֹוסֵף אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם וַיִּשְׁבֹּר לְמִצְרַיִם וַיֶּחֱזַק הָרָעָב בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 57 | The whole world came to Egypt to buy corn from Joseph, so severe was the famine everywhere. | | וְכָל־הָאָרֶץ בָּאוּ מִצְרַיְמָה לִשְׁבֹּר אֶל־יֹוסֵף כִּי־חָזַק הָרָעָב בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ׃ |
