5. The king slept again and dreamed a second time. In his dream he saw seven full and good heads of grain growing on one stalk.
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, “Now I remember something I promised to do, but I forgot about it.
10. There was a time when you were angry with the baker and me, and 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, and each dream had a different meaning.
12. A young Hebrew man, a servant of the captain of the guard, was in the prison with us. When we told him our dreams, he explained their meanings to us. He told each man the meaning of his dream, and
13. things happened exactly as he said they would: I was given back my old position, and the baker was hanged.”
