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.
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 when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it.
16. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17. And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:
18. and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored: and they fed in the reed-grass:
19. and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20. and the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21. and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good:
23. and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24. and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25. And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh.
26. The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27. And the seven lean and ill-favored kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.
28. That is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath showed unto Pharaoh.
29. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
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;
