6. After that, seven more heads of grain sprang up. But they were thin and burned by the hot east wind.
7. The thin heads of grain ate the seven full and good heads. Then the king woke up again. And he realized it was only a dream.
8. The next morning the king was troubled about these dreams. So he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. The king told them his dreams. But no one could explain their meaning to him.
9. Then the chief officer who served wine to the king said to him, “I remember something I promised to do. But I had forgotten about it.
10. There was a time when you were angry with me and the baker. You put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard.
11. In prison we each had a dream on the same night. Each dream had a different meaning.
12. A young Hebrew man was in the prison with us. He was a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he explained their meanings to us. He told each man the meaning of his dream.
13. Things happened exactly as he said they would: I was given back my old position, and the baker was hanged.”
14. So the king called for Joseph. The guards quickly brought him out of the prison. He shaved, put on clean clothes and went before the king.
15. The king said to Joseph, “I have had a dream. But no one can explain its meaning to me. I have heard that you can explain a dream when someone tells it to you.”
