24. And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads; and I told this unto the magicians, but there was no one that could declare it to me.
25. Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God has showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26. The seven beautiful cows are seven years; and the seven good heads are seven years; the dream is one and the same.
27. Also the seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty heads blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28. This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown unto Pharaoh.
29. Behold, seven years of great plenty are coming 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;
31. and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32. And that the dream came unto Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33. Now therefore let Pharaoh find a discreet and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
34. 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.
35. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come and lay up wheat under the hand of Pharaoh to feed the cities, and let them store it up.
36. And let that food be stored for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not perish through the famine.
37. And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his slaves.
38. And Pharaoh said unto his slaves, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God has showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art.
40. Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled; only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
