Genesis 41:2-27

2And behold, there cameH5927 up out of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.

3And behold, sevenH7651 otherH312 kine cameH5927 up after them out of the riverH2975, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stoodH5975 by the kine on the bankH8193 of the riverH2975.

4And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ateH398 up the sevenH7651 kine that were fine-looking and fatH1277. And PharaohH6547 awokeH3364.

5And he sleptH3462 and dreamedH2492 the secondH8145 timeH8145; and behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641 of corn grew up on oneH259 stalkH7070, fatH1277 and goodH2896.

6And behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641, thinH1851 and parched with the eastH6921 windH6921, sprung up after them.

7And the thinH1851 earsH7641 devoured the sevenH7651 fatH1277 and fullH4392 earsH7641. And PharaohH6547 awokeH3364; and behold, it was a dreamH2472.

8And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470; and he sentH7971 and calledH7121 for all the scribesH5608 of EgyptH4714, and all the sages who wereH1961 therein, and PharaohH6547 told them his dreamH2472; but [there was] none to interpretH6622 them to PharaohH6547.

9Then spokeH1696 the chiefH8269 of the cup-bearers to PharaohH6547, sayingH559, I rememberH2142 mine offences this dayH3117.

10PharaohH6547 was wroth with his bondmen, and putH5414 me in custodyH4929 into the captain of the life-guard's houseH1004, me and the chiefH8269 of the bakersH644.

11And we dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 in oneH259 nightH3915, I and he; we dreamedH2492 each according to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472.

12And there was there with us a HebrewH5680 youthH5288, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpretedH6622 to us our dreamsH2472; to each he interpretedH6622 according to his dreamH2472.

13And it came to pass, just as he interpretedH6622 to us, so it came about: me has he restoredH7725 to my office, and him he hangedH8518.

14Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 and calledH7121 JosephH3130; and they broughtH935 him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shavedH1548 [himself], and changedH2498 his clothesH8071, and cameH935 in to PharaohH6547.

15And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, I have dreamt a dreamH2472, and there is none to interpretH6622 it. And I have heardH8085 sayH559 of thee, thou understandest a dreamH2472 to interpretH6622 it.

16And JosephH3130 answered PharaohH6547, sayingH559, It is not in me: 1GodH430 will give PharaohH6547 an answerH6030 of peaceH7965.

17And PharaohH6547 saidH1696 to JosephH3130, In my dreamH2472, behold, I stoodH5975 on the bankH8193 of the riverH2975.

18And behold, there cameH5927 up out of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 kine, fat-fleshed and of fine formH8389, and they fed in the reed-grass.

19And behold, sevenH7651 otherH312 kine cameH5927 up after them, poor, and veryH3966 ill-formed, and lean-fleshed — such as I never sawH7200 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for badness.

20And the lean and badH7451 kine ateH398 up the sevenH7651 firstH7223 fatH1277 kine;

21and they cameH935 into their belly, and it could not be knownH3045 that they had comeH935 into their belly; and their look was badH7451, as at the beginning. And I awokeH3364.

22And I sawH7200 in my dreamH2472, and behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641 cameH5927 up on oneH259 stalkH7070, fullH4392 and goodH2896.

23And behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641, withered, thinH1851, parched with the eastH6921 windH6921, sprung up after them;

24and the thinH1851 earsH7641 devoured the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641. And I toldH5046 it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.

25And JosephH3130 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is oneH259. What 2GodH430 will do he has madeH6213 known to PharaohH6547.

26The sevenH7651 fine kine are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is oneH259.

27And the sevenH7651 lean and badH7451 kine that came up after them are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641, parched with the eastH6921 windH6921, will beH1961 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458.
