25. Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dream is one. God has told Pharaoh what He is about to do.
26. The seven good cows: they are seven years. Also the seven ears of corn: they’re seven years. It is one dream.
27. The seven emaciated and ugly cows coming up after them: they’re seven years. Also the seven empty ears of corn scorched by the east wind: there will be seven years of famine.
28. It is the word that I have already said to Pharaoh: what God is about to do, he has shown to Pharaoh.
29. Seven years of abundance are about to come in the whole land of Egypt.
30. Then seven years of famine will come up after them and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten and the famine will consume the land.
31. So the abundance in the land will be unknown because of the famine that follows, for it will be a very oppressive famine.
32. “Now as for repeating Pharaoh’s dream twice: it’s because the matter has been settled by God and God will quickly make it happen.
33. So now, let Pharaoh select a man discerning and wise and set him in authority over the land of Egypt.
