but the chief baker he impaled—just as Joseph had interpreted to them.

Yet the chief cupbearer did not think of Joseph; he forgot him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.40.23", "ref": "Genesis 40:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 15936.609304365451 }
After two years' time, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.1", "ref": "Genesis 41:1", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 223774.2864817946 }
when out of the Nile there came up seven cows, handsome and sturdy, and they grazed in the reed grass.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.2", "ref": "Genesis 41:2", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 12284.507757531283 }
But presently, seven other cows came up from the Nile close behind them, ugly and gaunt, and stood beside the cows on the bank of the Nile;
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.3", "ref": "Genesis 41:3", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9136.518530124455 }
and the ugly gaunt cows ate up the seven handsome sturdy cows. And Pharaoh awoke.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.4", "ref": "Genesis 41:4", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 10520.348924424214 }
He fell asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven ears of grain, solid and healthy, grew on a single stalk.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.5", "ref": "Genesis 41:5", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 11739.318351922147 }
But close behind them sprouted seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.6", "ref": "Genesis 41:6", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8975.709603424191 }
And the thin ears swallowed up the seven solid and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke: it was a dream!
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.7", "ref": "Genesis 41:7", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 13260.17110778059 }
Next morning, his spirit was agitated, and he sent for all the magician-priests of Egypt, and all its sages; and Pharaoh told them his dreams, but none could interpret them for Pharaoh.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.8", "ref": "Genesis 41:8", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 39971.03111444661 }
The chief cupbearer then spoke up and said to Pharaoh, "I must make mention today of my offenses.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.9", "ref": "Genesis 41:9", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 12859.295494145275 }
Once Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and placed me in custody in the house of the prefect, * prefect See note at 37.36. together with the chief baker.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.10", "ref": "Genesis 41:10", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9648.56348922778 }
We had dreams the same night, he and I, each of us a dream with a meaning of its own.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.11", "ref": "Genesis 41:11", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7605.049576501966 }
A Hebrew youth was there with us, a servant of the prefect; and when we told him our dreams, he interpreted them for us, telling each of the meaning of his dream.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.12", "ref": "Genesis 41:12", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 18043.258446050328 }
And as he interpreted for us, so it came to pass: I was restored to my post, and the other was impaled."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.13", "ref": "Genesis 41:13", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8299.910636597846 }
Thereupon Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was rushed from the dungeon. He had his hair cut and changed his clothes, and he appeared before Pharaoh.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.14", "ref": "Genesis 41:14", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 54413.405621236314 }
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it. Now I have heard it said of you that for you to hear a dream is to tell its meaning."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.15", "ref": "Genesis 41:15", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 58694.81519926804 }
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Not I! God will see to Pharaoh's welfare."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.16", "ref": "Genesis 41:16", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 24809.9842995926 }
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.17", "ref": "Genesis 41:17", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 13871.40727135333 }
when out of the Nile came up seven sturdy and well-formed cows and grazed in the reed grass.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.18", "ref": "Genesis 41:18", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7653.206540218287 }
Presently there followed them seven other cows, scrawny, ill-formed, and emaciated—never had I seen their likes for ugliness in all the land of Egypt!
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.19", "ref": "Genesis 41:19", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7912.636307575617 }
And the seven lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven cows, the sturdy ones;
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.20", "ref": "Genesis 41:20", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6188.88111382127 }
but when they had consumed them, one could not tell that they had consumed them, for they looked just as bad as before. And I awoke.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.21", "ref": "Genesis 41:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6880.154968377623 }
In my other dream, I saw seven ears of grain, full and healthy, growing on a single stalk;
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.22", "ref": "Genesis 41:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6926.6320886944195 }
but right behind them sprouted seven ears, shriveled, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.23", "ref": "Genesis 41:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7081.114044636396 }
And the thin ears swallowed the seven healthy ears. I have told my magician-priests, but none has an explanation for me."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.24", "ref": "Genesis 41:24", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6409.345708917129 }
And Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dreams are one and the same: Pharaoh has been told what God is about to do.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.25", "ref": "Genesis 41:25", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 30802.08471021801 }
The seven healthy cows are seven years, and the seven healthy ears are seven years; it is the same dream.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.26", "ref": "Genesis 41:26", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8249.155571757932 }
The seven lean and ugly cows that followed are seven years, as are also the seven empty ears scorched by the east wind; they are seven years of famine.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.27", "ref": "Genesis 41:27", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7776.427575860512 }
It is just as I have told Pharaoh: Pharaoh has been shown what God is about to do.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.28", "ref": "Genesis 41:28", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9586.230959324066 }
Immediately ahead are seven years of great abundance in all the land of Egypt.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.29", "ref": "Genesis 41:29", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8205.542942579461 }
After them will come seven years of famine, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. As the land is ravaged by famine,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.30", "ref": "Genesis 41:30", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7598.577786859226 }
no trace of the abundance will be left in the land because of the famine thereafter, for it will be very severe.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.31", "ref": "Genesis 41:31", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6459.140706545039 }
As for Pharaoh having had the same dream twice, it means that the matter has been determined by God, and that God will soon carry it out.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.32", "ref": "Genesis 41:32", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 13288.674685028975 }
"Accordingly, let Pharaoh find someone * someone Lit. "a participant whose involvement defines the (proposed) situation." See the Dictionary under 'ish . who's discerning and wise, whom you can set over the land of Egypt.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.33", "ref": "Genesis 41:33", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 22553.828963095075 }
And let Pharaoh take steps to appoint overseers over the land, and organize * organize Others "take a fifth part of"; meaning of Heb. uncertain. the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.34", "ref": "Genesis 41:34", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 15432.334129326216 }
Let all the food of these good years that are coming be gathered, and let the grain be collected under Pharaoh's authority as food to be stored in the cities.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.35", "ref": "Genesis 41:35", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9329.831617701177 }
Let that food be a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will come upon the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish in the famine."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.36", "ref": "Genesis 41:36", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9330.349529058425 }
The plan pleased Pharaoh and all his courtiers.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.37", "ref": "Genesis 41:37", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 15523.260705009132 }
And Pharaoh said to his courtiers, "Could we find another like him—a man with the divine spirit?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.38", "ref": "Genesis 41:38", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 33238.50672753334 }
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all this known to you, there is none so discerning and wise as you.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.39", "ref": "Genesis 41:39", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 44130.27231150368 }
You shall be in charge of my court, and by your command shall all my people be directed; * be directed Others "order themselves" or "pay homage"; meaning of Heb. yishshaq uncertain. only with respect to the throne shall I be superior to you."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.40", "ref": "Genesis 41:40", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 14954.143116585508 }
Pharaoh further said to Joseph, "See, I put you in charge of all the land of Egypt."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.41", "ref": "Genesis 41:41", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 17282.778088661555 }
And removing his signet ring from his hand, Pharaoh put it on Joseph's hand; and he had him dressed in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.42", "ref": "Genesis 41:42", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 28818.173723156026 }
He had him ride in the chariot of his second-in-command, and they cried before him, "Abrek!" * Abrek Others "Bow the knee," as though from Heb. barakh "to kneel"; perhaps from an Egyptian word of unknown meaning. Thus he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.43", "ref": "Genesis 41:43", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 17708.754971479313 }
Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh; yet without you, no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.44", "ref": "Genesis 41:44", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 13680.280470782327 }
Pharaoh then gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah; * Zaphenath-paneah Egyptian for "God speaks; he lives," or "creator of life." and he gave him for a wife Asenath daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On. Thus Joseph emerged in charge of the land of Egypt.—
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.45", "ref": "Genesis 41:45", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 42778.04589176816 }
Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt.—Leaving Pharaoh's presence, Joseph traveled through all the land of Egypt.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.46", "ref": "Genesis 41:46", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 12747.981467333639 }
During the seven years of plenty, the land produced in abundance.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.47", "ref": "Genesis 41:47", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 11572.299866611578 }
And he gathered all the grain of the seven years that the land of Egypt was enjoying, * the seven years that the land of Egypt was enjoying Lit. "the seven years that were in the land of Egypt." and stored the grain in the cities; he put in each city the grain of the fields around it.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.48", "ref": "Genesis 41:48", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7228.063126538466 }
So Joseph collected produce in very large quantity, like the sands of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.49", "ref": "Genesis 41:49", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8994.956218935622 }
Before the years of famine came, Joseph became the father of two sons, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, bore to him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.50", "ref": "Genesis 41:50", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 35064.98022646115 }
Joseph named the first-born Manasseh, meaning, "God has made me forget * has made me forget Heb. nashshani , connected with "Manasseh" ( Menashsheh ). completely my hardship and my parental home."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.51", "ref": "Genesis 41:51", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 37252.96908011741 }
And the second he named Ephraim, meaning, "God has made me fertile * has made me fertile Heb. hiphrani , connected with "Ephraim." in the land of my affliction."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.52", "ref": "Genesis 41:52", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 10581.843453395553 }
The seven years of abundance that the land of Egypt enjoyed came to an end,
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.53", "ref": "Genesis 41:53", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 26668.739946368325 }
and the seven years of famine set in, just as Joseph had foretold. There was famine in all lands, but throughout the land of Egypt there was bread.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.54", "ref": "Genesis 41:54", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 12803.340480275785 }
And when all the land of Egypt felt the hunger, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; whatever he tells you, you shall do."—
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.55", "ref": "Genesis 41:55", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9824.79189156336 }
Accordingly, when the famine became severe in the land of Egypt, Joseph laid open all that was within, and rationed out grain to the Egyptians. The famine, however, spread over the whole world.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.56", "ref": "Genesis 41:56", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9818.669284903615 }
So all the world came to Joseph in Egypt to procure rations, for the famine had become severe throughout the world.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.41.57", "ref": "Genesis 41:57", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8326.869520152752 }
When Jacob saw that there were food rations to be had in Egypt, he * he Lit. "Jacob." said to his sons, "Why do you keep looking at one another?
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.42.1", "ref": "Genesis 42:1", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 54667.019462647346 }
Now I hear," he went on, "that there are rations to be had in Egypt. Go down and procure rations for us there, that we may live and not die."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.42.2", "ref": "Genesis 42:2", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7471.607024459494 }
So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to get grain rations in Egypt;

They said to one another, "Alas, we are being punished on account of our brother, because we looked on at his anguish, yet paid no heed as he pleaded with us. That is why this distress has come upon us."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.42.21", "ref": "Genesis 42:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 51025.64613724738 }

{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.42.22", "ref": "Genesis 42:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8850.535385074163 }
