Then it came to pass, at the end of
two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.
2 Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine
looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
3 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of
the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the
river.
4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking
and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven
heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.
6 Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the east wind,
sprang up after them.
7 And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and
full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and
indeed, it was a dream.
8 Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was
troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its
wise men. And Pharaoh told them his
dreams but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
9 Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember
my faults this day.
10 “when Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in
custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,
11 “We each had a dream in one night, he and I. each of us dreamed according to the interpretation
of his own dream.
12 “Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there, a
servant of the captain of the guard. And
we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted
according to his won dream.
13 “And it came to pass, just as he interpreted
for us, so it happened. He restored me
to my office, and he hanged him.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him
quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to
Pharaoh.
