¹ 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 beautiful cows and very fat, and they fed in a meadow.

³ And, behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and lean-fleshed, and stood by the [other] cows upon the brink of the river.

⁴ And the ugly and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven beautiful and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.

⁵ And he slept and dreamed the second time; and, behold, seven heads of wheat came up upon one stalk, full and beautiful.

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

⁷ And the seven thin heads devoured the seven full and beautiful heads. 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 magicians of Egypt and all the wise men thereof; and Pharaoh told them his dreams, but [there was] no one that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

⁹ Then the chief butler spoke unto Pharaoh, saying, I remember my sins today;

¹⁰ Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in the prison of the captain of the guard's house, [both] me and the prince of the bakers.

¹¹ And we both dreamed a dream in one night; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

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

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

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon; and they cut his hair and changed his clothes, and he came in unto Pharaoh.

¹⁵ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no one that can interpret it; but I have heard say of thee [that] thou canst hear dreams to interpret them.

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

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

¹⁸ and, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed and beautiful in appearance; and they fed in a meadow.

¹⁹ And, behold, seven other cows came up after them, lean and very ugly in appearance, and thin, such as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

²⁰ And the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows;

²¹ and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

²² And I also saw in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up in one stalk, full and beautiful;

²³ and, behold, seven heads, withered, thin, [and] blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

²⁴ And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads; and I told [this] unto the magicians, but [there was] no one that could declare [it] to me.

²⁵ Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God has showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do.

²⁶ The seven beautiful cows [are] seven years; and the seven good heads [are] seven years; the dream [is] one and the same.

²⁷ Also the seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them [are] seven years; and the seven empty heads blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

²⁸ This [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh. What God [is] about to do he has shown unto Pharaoh.

²⁹ Behold, seven years of great plenty are coming throughout all the land of Egypt.

³⁰ And 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;

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

³² And that the dream came unto Pharaoh twice, [it is] because the thing [is] established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

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

³⁴ Let 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.

³⁵ And let them gather all the food of those good years that come and lay up wheat under the hand of Pharaoh to feed the cities, and let them store [it] up.

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

³⁷ And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.

³⁸ And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a one] as this [is], a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?

³⁹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God has showed thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art].

⁴⁰ Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled; only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

⁴¹ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

⁴² Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck;

⁴³ and he made him to ride in his second chariot; and they cried before him, Abrech [Tender Father-honour this one as a precious father]; and he made him [ruler] over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I [am] Pharaoh, and without thee no one shall lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁵ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah, and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over [all] the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶ And Joseph [was] thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
