Genesis 41:14-24
14Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 word and 1calledH7121 for JosephH3130, and they 2hurriedlyH7323 broughtH7323 him out of the dungeonH953; and when he had shavedH1548 himself and changedH2498 his clothesH8071, he cameH935 to PharaohH6547. 15PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “I have hadH2492 a dreamH2472, 3but noH369 oneH369 can interpretH6622 it; and 4I have heardH8085 5it saidH559 aboutH5921 you, that 6when you hearH8085 a dreamH2472 you can interpretH6622 it.” 16JosephH3130 then answeredH6030 PharaohH6547, sayingH559, “78It has nothingH1107 toH1107 doH1107 withH1107 me; 9GodH430 will 10giveH6030 PharaohH6547 an answerH6030 for his own goodH7965.” 17So PharaohH6547 saidH1696 to JosephH3130, “In my dreamH2472, thereH2009 I was, standingH5975 on the bankH8193 of the NileH2975; 18and beholdH2009, sevenH7651 cowsH6510, 11fatH1277H1320 and fine-lookingH3303H8389 cameH5927 upH5927 out of the NileH2975, and they grazedH7462 in the marshH260 grassH260. 19Then beholdH2009, sevenH7651 otherH312 cowsH6510 cameH5927 upH5927 afterH310 them, poorH1800 and veryH3966 12uglyH7451H8389 and 13thinH7534H1320, suchH2007 as I had neverH3808 seenH7200 for 14uglinessH7455 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 20and the thinH7534 and uglyH7451 cowsH6510 ateH398 the firstH7223 sevenH7651 fatH1277 cowsH6510. 21Yet when they had 15devouredH935H7130 them, it could not be 16detectedH3045 that they had 17devouredH935H7130 them, 18for they were justH3512 asH3512 uglyH7451 as 19beforeH8462. Then I awokeH3364. 22I sawH7200 also in my dreamH2472, and beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641 ofH7641 grainH7641, fullH4392 and goodH2896, cameH5927 upH5927 on a singleH259 stalkH7070; 23and beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641, witheredH6798, thinH1851, and scorchedH7710 by the eastH6921 windH6921 sproutedH6779 upH6779 afterH310 them; 24and the thinH1851 earsH7641 swallowedH1104 the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641. Then 20I toldH559 it to the soothsayerH2748 priestsH2748, but thereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 who could explainH5046 it to me.”
