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.
19. And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very ugly and gaunt—never have I seen any as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
20. And the thin and ugly cows ate the former seven healthy cows.
21. But when they went into their bellies it could not be known that they went into their bellies, for their appearance was as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
22. Then I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears of grain were coming out of one stalk, full and good.
23. And behold, seven withered ears of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
24. And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven good ears of grain. And I told the magicians, but there was none to explain it to me.”
25. Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
