Ge 41:14: 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.<br/>
Ge 41:15: 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.<br/>
Ge 41:16: And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.<br/>
Ge 41:17: And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:<br/>
Ge 41:18: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:<br/>
Ge 41:19: 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:<br/>
Ge 41:20: And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:<br/>
Ge 41:21: 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.<br/>
Ge 41:22: And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:<br/>
Ge 41:23: And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:<br/>
Ge 41:24: 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.<br/>
Ge 41:25: And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do. <br/>
Ge 41:26: The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.<br/>
Ge 41:27: 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.<br/>
Ge 41:28: This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.<br/>
Ge 41:29: Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:<br/>
Ge 41:30: 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;<br/>
Ge 41:31: And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.<br/>
Ge 41:32: 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.<br/>
Ge 41:33: Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.<br/>
Ge 41:34: Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.<br/>
Ge 41:35: And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.<br/>
Ge 41:36: And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.<br/>
