Genesis 41:22–35

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
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.

41:14¶ 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.

41:15And 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.

41:16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

41:17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

41:18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

41:19And, 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:

41:20And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

41:21And 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.

41:22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

Selected passage

41:23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

Selected passage

41:24And 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.

Selected passage

41:25¶ And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

Selected passage

41:26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

Selected passage

41:27And 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.

Selected passage

41:28This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

Selected passage

41:29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

Selected passage

41:30And 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;

Selected passage

41:31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

Selected passage

41:32And 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.

Selected passage

41:33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Selected passage

41:34Let 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.

Selected passage

41:36And 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.
