H9002–/וְ–v

And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.

וְשָׁ֨ם (וְ) ve. “and”

And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.

וְאֹת֥וֹ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.

וּפֹתֵ֖ר (וּ) u. “and”וַאֲנִ֗י (וַ) va. “and”

And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;

וְהִנֵּ֣ה (וְ) ve. “and”וִיפֹ֣ת (וִ) vi. “and”

Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;

וְהִנֵּ֞ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְרָע֥וֹת (וְ) ve. “and”וְרַקּ֣וֹת (וְ) ve. “and”

And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;

וְהָרָע֑וֹת (וְ) ve. “and”

And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.

וְלֹ֤א (וְ) ve. “and”וּמַרְאֵיהֶ֣ן (וּ) u. “and”

And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:

וְהִנֵּ֣ה׀ (וְ) ve. “and”וְטֹבֽוֹת׃ (וְ) ve. “and”

And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:

וְהִנֵּה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.

וְאֵ֥ין (וְ) ve. “and”

The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.

וְשֶׁ֤בַע (וְ) ve. “and”

The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food.

וְשֶׁ֣בַע (וְ) ve. “and”וְהָרָעֹ֜ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְשֶׁ֤בַע (וְ) ve. “and”

And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.

וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

וְעַ֨ל (וְ) ve. “and”וּמְמַהֵ֥ר (וּ) u. “and”

And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt.

וְעַתָּה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְחָכָ֑ם (וְ) ve. “and”וִישִׁיתֵ֖הוּ (וִ) vi. “and”

Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.

וְיַפְקֵ֥ד (וְ) ve. “and”

And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.

וְיִקְבְּצ֗וּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְיִצְבְּרוּ־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.

וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

וּבְעֵינֵ֖י (וּ) u. “and”

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense as you:

וְחָכָ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.

וְעַל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

וְנָת֣וֹן (וְ) ve. “and”

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.
