01:041:018 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,
fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
01:041:019 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:
01:041:020 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first
seven fat kine:
01:041:021 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.
01:041:022 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one
stalk, full and good:
01:041:023 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the
east wind, sprung up after them:
01:041:024 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.
01:041:025 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God
hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
01:041:026 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears
are seven years: the dream is one.
01:041:027 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.
01:041:028 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God
is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
01:041:029 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all
the land of Egypt:
01:041:030 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;
01:041:031 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of
that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
01:041:032 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.
01:041:033 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise,
and set him over the land of Egypt.
01:041:034 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.
01:041:035 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.
01:041:036 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.
01:041:037 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes
of all his servants.
