4. And the ugly and gaunt cows ate the seven well built and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
5. And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time, and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were coming out of one stalk.
6. And behold, seven thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7. And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven plump and full ears of grain. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
8. And it happened that in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called all of the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh told his dream to them. But they had no interpretation for Pharaoh.
9. Then the chief of the cupbearers spoke with Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my sins today.
10. Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the house of the chief of the guard.
11. And we dreamed a dream one night, I and he, each with a dream that had a meaning.
12. And there with us was a young man, a Hebrew servant of the chief of the guard, and we told him the dream, and he interpreted our dreams for us, each according to his dream he interpreted.
13. And it happened just as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and him he hanged.”
14. Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they brought him quickly from the prison. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.
15. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed a dream, but there is none to interpret it. Now, I have heard concerning you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16. Then Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, “It is not in my power; God will answer concerning the well-being of Pharaoh.”
17. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now in my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
18. and behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
