Ge 41:1: And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
Ge 41:2: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Ge 41:3: 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.
Ge 41:4: And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Ge 41:5: And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Ge 41:6: And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
Ge 41:7: And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Ge 41:8: 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.
Ge 41:9: Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
Ge 41:10: 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:
Ge 41:11: And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Ge 41:12: 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.
Ge 41:13: And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
