And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh ^adreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

 2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

 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 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

 5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

 6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.

 7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

 8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was ^atroubled; and he sent and called for all the ^bmagicians 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 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

 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 And we dreamed a dream in 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, 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 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 ^aPharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the ^bdungeon: 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 ^ainterpret it.

 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: ^aGod shall give Pharaoh an answer of ^bpeace.

 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 kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

 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 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

 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 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 ^aeast ^bwind, sprung 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 dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath ^ashewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

 26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
