Genesis 41:10-32
21st Century King James Version
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me under guard in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker.
11 And we dreamed a dream one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, a 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 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.”
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 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 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river.
18 And behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fatfleshed and wellfavored, and they fed in a meadow.
19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very illfavored and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20 And the lean and the illfavored cows ate up the first seven fat cows;
21 and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, but they were still illfavored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good;
23 and behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind sprang up after them.
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 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God hath shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years: the dreams are one.
27 And the seven thin and illfavored cows 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 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do He showeth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
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 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following, for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was repeated unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
