Genesis - ch 41 v 1 - 20
- Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;
- And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.
- And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.
- And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.
- But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.
- And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.
- And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.
- And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.
- Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;
- Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;
- And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.
- And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.
- And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.
- Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.
- And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.
- Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.
- Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile:
- And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;
- Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;
- And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;
