Genesis 41:1-8

Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dream

41¹ And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river. ² And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass. ³ And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river. ⁴ And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke. ⁵ And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good. ⁶ And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them. ⁷ And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream. ⁸ And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.
