01:040:021 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again;
and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
01:040:022 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to
them.
01:040:023 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
01:041:001 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh
dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
01:041:002 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well
favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
01:041:003 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.
01:041:004 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven
well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
01:041:005 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven
ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
01:041:006 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind
sprung up after them.
01:041:007 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears.
And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
01:041:008 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.
01:041:009 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
remember my faults this day:
01:041:010 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:
01:041:011 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each
man according to the interpretation of his dream.
01:041:012 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.
01:041:013 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he
restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
01:041:014 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.
01:041:015 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.
01:041:016 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God
shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
01:041:017 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood
