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
upon the bank of the river:
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.
