Genesis 41:2-18
2when sevenH7651 cowsH6510, sleekH3303H4758 and well-fedH1277H1320, came upH5927 fromH4480 the riverH2975 and began to grazeH7462 among the reedsH260. 3After themH310, sevenH7651 otherH312 cowsH6510, sicklyH7451H4758 and thinH1851H1320, came upH5927 fromH4480 the NileH2975 and stoodH5975 besideH681 the well-fed cowsH6510 onH5921 the bankH8193 of the riverH2975. 4And the cowsH6510 that were sicklyH7451H4758 and thinH1851H1320 devouredH398 the sevenH7651 sleekH3303H4758, well-fedH1277 cowsH6510.
Then PharaohH6547 woke upH3364, 5but he fell back asleepH3462 and dreamedH2492 a second timeH8145H2009: SevenH7651 heads of grainH7641, plumpH1277 and ripeH2896, came upH5927 on oneH259 stalkH7070. 6After themH310, seven otherH7651 heads of grainH7641 sproutedH6779, thinH1851 and scorchedH7710 by the east windH6921. 7And the thinH1851 heads of grainH7641 swallowed upH1104 the sevenH7651 plumpH1277, ripeH4392 onesH7641. Then PharaohH6547 awokeH3364 and realizedH2009 it was a dreamH2472.
8In the morningH1242H1961 his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470, so he summonedH7971H7121 allH3605 the magiciansH2748 andH3605 wise menH2450 of EgyptH4714. PharaohH6547 toldH5608 them his dreamsH2472, but no oneH369 could interpretH6622 themH853 for himH6547.
9Then the chiefH8269 cupbearerH4945 saidH1696 toH854 PharaohH6547H559, “TodayH3117 IH589 recallH2142 my failuresH2399. 10PharaohH6547 was once angryH7107 withH5921 his servantsH5650, and he putH5414 meH853 andH853 the chiefH8269 bakerH644 in the custodyH4929H1004 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876. 11OneH259 nightH3915 bothH1931 the chief baker and IH589 had dreamsH2492H2472, and eachH376 dreamH2472H2492 had its own meaningH6623. 12Now a youngH5288 HebrewH5680 was thereH8033 with usH854, a servantH5650 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876. We told himH5608 our dreams and he interpretedH6622 them for usH853 individuallyH376H2472H6622. 13And it happenedH1961 to us just asH834 he had interpretedH6622H3651H1961: I was restoredH7725 toH5921 my positionH3653, and the other man was hangedH8518.”
14So PharaohH6547 sent forH7971H7121 JosephH3130, who was quickly broughtH7323 out ofH4480 the dungeonH953. After he had shavedH1548 and changedH2498 his clothesH8071, he went inH935 beforeH413 PharaohH6547.
15PharaohH6547 saidH559 toH413 JosephH3130, “I had a dreamH2472H2492, and noH369 one can interpret itH6622. But IH589 have heardH8085 it saidH559 of youH5921 that when you hearH8085 a dreamH2472 you can interpret itH6622.”
16“I myself cannot do itH1107,” JosephH3130 repliedH6030H6547H559, “but GodH430 will give PharaohH6547 a soundH7965 answerH6030.”
17Then PharaohH6547 saidH1696 toH413 JosephH3130: “In my dreamH2472H2005 I was standingH5975 onH5921 the bankH8193 of the NileH2975, 18when sevenH7651 cowsH6510, well-fedH1277H1320 and sleekH3303H8389, came upH5927 fromH4480 the riverH2975 and began to grazeH7462 among the reedsH260.
