¹AND it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

²And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

³And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

⁴And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

⁵And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

⁶And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.

⁷And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

⁸And 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 the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

⁹¶ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

¹⁰Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker:

¹¹And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹²And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.

¹³And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

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 in unto Pharaoh.

¹⁵And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.

¹⁶And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

¹⁷And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

¹⁸And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

¹⁹And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

²⁰And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

²¹And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

²²And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

²³And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

²⁴And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

²⁵¶ And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

²⁶The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

²⁷And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

²⁸This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

²⁹Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

³⁰And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

³¹And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

³²And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

³³Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁴Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

³⁵And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

³⁶And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

¹¶ And it came to passe at the end of two ful yeeres, that Pharaoh dreamed: and beholde, hee stood by the riuer.

²And behold, there came vp out of the riuer seuen well fauoured kine, and fat fleshed, and they fed in a medow.

³And behold, seuen other kine came vp after them out of the riuer, ill fauoured and leane fleshed, and stood by the other kine, vpon the brinke of the riuer.

⁴And the ill fauoured and leane fleshed kine, did eate vp the seuen well fauoured and fat kine: So Pharaoh awoke.

⁵And hee slept and dreamed the second time: and beholde, seuen eares of corne came vp vpon one stalke, ^†ranke and good.

⁶And beholde, seuen thinne eares and blasted with the Eastwind, sprang vp after them.

⁷And the seuen thinne eares deuoured the seuen ranke and full eares: and Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dreame.

⁸And it came to passe in the morning, that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the Magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh tolde them his dreame; but there was none that could interprete them vnto Pharaoh.

⁹¶ Then spake the chiefe Butler vnto Pharaoh, saying, I doe remember my faults this day.

¹⁰Pharaoh was wroth with his seruants, and put mee in warde, in the captaine of the guards house, both mee, and the chiefe Baker.

¹¹And we dreamed a dreame in one night, I and he: we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dreame.

¹²And there was there with vs a yong man an Hebrew, seruant to the captaine of the guard: and wee told him, and he ^*interpreted to vs our dreames, to each man according to his dreame, he did interpret.

¹³And it came to passe, as he interpreted to vs, so it was; mee he restored vnto mine office, and him he hanged.

¹⁴¶ ^*Then Pharaoh sent and called Ioseph, and they ^†brought him hastily out of the dungeon: And he shaued himselfe, and changed his raiment, and came in vnto Pharaoh.

¹⁵And Pharaoh said vnto Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and there is none that can interpret it: and I haue heard say of thee, that ^‖thou canst vnderstand a dreame, to interpret it.

¹⁶And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying; It is not in me: God shall giue Pharaoh an answere of peace.

¹⁷And Pharaoh said vnto Ioseph; In my dreame, behold, I stood vpon the banke of the riuer.

¹⁸And behold, there came vp out of the riuer seuen kine, fat fleshed and well fauoured, and they fed in a medow.

¹⁹And behold, seuen other kine came vp after them, poore and very ill fauoured, and leane fleshed, such as I neuer saw in all the land of Egypt for badnes.

²⁰And the leane, & the ill fauoured kine, did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.

²¹And when they had ^†eaten them vp, it could not bee knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still ill fauoured, as at the beginning: So I awoke.

²²And I saw in my dreame, and behold, seuen eares came vp in one stalke, full and good.

²³And behold, seuen eares ^‖withered, thin & blasted with the East wind, sprung vp after them.

²⁴And the thin eares deuoured the seuen good eares: and I told this vnto the magicians, but there was none that could declare it to me.

²⁵¶ And Ioseph said vnto Pharaoh, the dreame of Pharaoh is one; God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to doe.

²⁶The seuen good kine are seuen yeeres: and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: the dreame is one.

²⁷And the seuen thin and ill fauoured kine that came vp after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East wind, shall bee seuen yeeres of famine.

²⁸This is the thing which I haue spoken vnto Pharaoh: what God is about to doe, he sheweth vnto Pharaoh.

²⁹Behold, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie, throughout all the land of Egypt.

³⁰And there shall arise after them, seuen yeeres of famine, and all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt: and the famine shall consume the land.

³¹And the plentie shal not be knowen in the land, by reason of that famine following: for it shalbe very ^†grieuous.

³²And for that the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is ^‖established by God: and God will shortly bring it to passe.

³³Now therfore let Pharaoh looke out a man discreet and wise, and set him ouer the land of Egypt.

³⁴Let Pharaoh doe this, and let him appoint ^‖officers ouer the land, & take vp the fift part of the land of Egypt, in the seuen plenteous yeeres.

³⁵And let them gather all the food of those good yeeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keepe food in the cities.

³⁶And that food shall be for store to the land, against the seuen yeeres of famine, which shall bee in the land of Egypt, that the land ^†perish not through the famine.
