14. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came before Pharaoh.
15. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard it said of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18. And behold, there came out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed, and well-favored; and they fed in a meadow:
19. And behold, seven other cows came out after them, poor, and very ill-favored, and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20. And the lean and the ill-favored cows ate up the first seven fat cows:
21. And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22. And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good:
23. And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24. And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this to the magicians; but there was none that could explain it to me.
25. And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one; God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26. The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27. And the seven thin and ill-favored cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind will be seven years of famine.
