<p class="bodytext">When the days of mourning<n id="1" /> had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh&#8217;s royal court,<n id="2" /> &#8220;If I have found favor in your sight, please say to Pharaoh,<n id="3" />

When Pharaoh heard<n id="1" /> about this event,<n id="2" /> he sought to kill Moses. So Moses fled<n id="3" /> from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian,<n id="4" /> and he settled<n id="5" /> by a certain well.<n id="6" />p>

&#8220;When Pharaoh says to you, &#8216;Do<n id="1" /> a miracle,&#8217; and you say to Aaron, &#8216;Take your staff and throw it down<n id="2" /> before Pharaoh,&#8217; it will become<n id="3" /> a snake.&#8221;

When<n id="1" /> Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, they did so, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded them &#8211; Aaron threw<n id="2" /> down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a snake.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Moses said, &#8220;I am going to go out<n id="1" /> from you and pray to the <sc>Lordsc>, and the swarms of flies will go away from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only do not let Pharaoh deal falsely again<n id="2" /> by not releasing<n id="3" /> the people to sacrifice to the <sc>Lordsc>.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the <sc>Lordsc> hardened Pharaoh&#8217;s heart, and he did not release the Israelites from his land.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Solomon made an alliance by marriage with Pharaoh, king of Egypt; he married Pharaoh&#8217;s daughter. He brought her to the City of David<n id="1" /> until he could finish building his residence and the temple of the <sc>Lordsc> and the wall around Jerusalem.<n id="2" />

Jehoiakim paid Pharaoh the required amount of silver and gold, but to meet Pharaoh&#8217;s demands Jehoiakim had to tax the land. He collected an assessed amount from each man among the people of the land in order to pay Pharaoh Necho.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">Pharaoh&#8217;s wise advisers give stupid advice.p> <p class="poetry">How dare you say to Pharaoh,p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;I am one of the sages,p> <p class="poetry">one well-versed in the writings of the ancient kings?&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> God of Israel who rules over all<n id="1" /> says, &#8220;I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes.<n id="2" /> I will punish Egypt, its gods, and its kings. I will punish Pharaoh and all who trust in him.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">But the <sc>Lordsc> struck Pharaoh and his household with severe diseases<n id="1" /> because of Sarai, Abram&#8217;s wife.

So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, &#8220;What is this<n id="1" /> you have done to me? Why didn&#8217;t you tell me that she was your wife?

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt.<n id="1" /> An Egyptian named Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh and the captain of the guard,<n id="2" /> purchased him from<n id="3" /> the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.

So he asked Pharaoh&#8217;s officials, who were with him in custody in his master&#8217;s house, &#8220;Why do you look so sad today?&#8221;<n id="1" />

But remember me<n id="1" /> when it goes well for you, and show<n id="2" /> me kindness.<n id="3" /> Make mention<n id="4" /> of me to Pharaoh and bring me out of this prison,<n id="5" />

In the top basket there were baked goods of every kind for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them from the basket that was on my head.&#8221;p>

In three more days Pharaoh will decapitate you<n id="1" /> and impale you on a pole. Then the birds will eat your flesh from you.&#8221;p>

The bad-looking, thin cows ate the seven fine-looking, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.p>

Pharaoh was enraged with his servants, and he put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guards &#8211; me and the chief baker.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, &#8220;I had a dream,<n id="1" /> and there is no one who can interpret<n id="2" /> it. But I have heard about you, that<n id="3" /> you can interpret dreams.&#8221;<n id="4" />
