Genesis

  1. 41:1  And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
  2. 2  And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
  3. 3  And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
  4. 4  And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
  5. 5  And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
  6. 6  And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
  7. 7  And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
  8. 8  And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
  9. 9  Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
  10. 10  Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
  11. 11  And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
  12. 12  And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
  13. 13  And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
  14. 14  Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
  15. 15  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
  16. 16  And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
  17. 17  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
  18. 18  And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
  19. 19  And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
  20. 20  And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
  21. 21  And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
  22. 22  And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
  23. 23  And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
  24. 24  And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
  25. 25  And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
  26. 26  The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
  27. 27  And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
  28. 28  This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
  29. 29  Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
  30. 30  And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
  31. 31  And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
  32. 32  And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
