Gen. 40:5‑8• 5And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to his dream's interpretation, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt that [were] imprisoned in the tower-house.
6And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and, behold, they [were] sad.
7And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that [were] with him in his lord's house of custody, saying, Why [are] your faces sad today?
8And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me your dreams, I pray you. (Gen. 40:5‑8)
Gen. 41:1‑36• 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 kine, well-looking and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
3And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-looking and lean-fleshed; and they stood by the kine on the bank of the river.
4And the ill-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven well-looking and fat kine. And Pharaoh awoke.
5And he slept and dreamed a second time; and, behold, seven ears of corn came up on one stalk, fat and good.
6And, behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, came up after them.
7And the thin ears swallowed up the seven fat 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 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.
9And the chief-butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying, I remember my faults this day.
10Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, 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] with us a young man, a Hebrew, servant of the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he interpreted.
13And it came to pass, as he interpreted, so it was: me he restored to mine office, and him he hanged.
14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they hastened his exit [made him run] out of the dungeon; and he shaved, and changed his raiment, and came in to Pharaoh.
15And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and [there is] none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.
16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of a river.
18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine fat-fleshed and fine-looking, and they fed in the reed grass.
19And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-looking, and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20And the lean and ill-looking kine ate up the first seven fat kine;
21and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had come into their belly, and their look was as at the beginning. And I awoke.
22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.
23And, behold, seven ears withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;
24and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told [it] to the scribes; but [there was] none that could declare it to me.
25And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one. What God is about to do he hath declared to Pharaoh.
26The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven good ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one.
27And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them [are] seven years; and the seven empty ears parched with the east wind will be seven years of famine.
28This [is] the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he letteth Pharaoh see.
29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
30And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will consume the land.
31And the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine that followeth; for it [will be] very grievous.
32And for that the dream was doubled to Pharaoh twice, [it is] because the thing [is] established by God, and God will hasten to do it.
33And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34Let Pharaoh do [this]: and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty;
35and let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and keep [it].
36And let the food be a store to the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine. (Gen. 41:1‑36)
