Genesis 41:18-37
18And, behold, there came upH5927 out of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 kineH6510, fatfleshedH1320H1277 and wellH3303 favouredH8389; and they fedH7462 in a meadowH260: 19And, behold, sevenH7651 otherH312 kineH6510 came upH5927 after themH310, poorH1803 and veryH3966 illH7451 favouredH8389 and leanfleshedH1320H7534, suchH2007 as I neverH3808 sawH7200 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for badnessH7455: 20And the leanH7534 and the ill favouredH7451 kineH6510 did eat upH398 the firstH7223 sevenH7651 fatH1277 kineH6510: 21And when they had eaten them upH7130H935, it could not be knownH3045 that they had eaten themH7130H935; but they were stillH4758 ill favouredH7451, as at the beginningH8462. So I awokeH3364.1 22And I sawH7200 in my dreamH2472, and, behold, sevenH7651 headsH7641 came upH5927 in oneH259 stalkH7070, fullH4392 and goodH2896: 23And, behold, sevenH7651 headsH7641, witheredH6798, thinH1851, and blastedH7710 with the east windH6921, sprung upH6779 after themH310:2 24And the thinH1851 headsH7641 devouredH1104 the sevenH7651 goodH2896 headsH7641: and I toldH559 this unto the magiciansH2748; but there was none that could declareH5046 it to me.
25And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is oneH259: GodH430 hath shewedH5046 PharaohH6547 what he is about to doH6213. 26The sevenH7651 goodH2896 kineH6510 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 headsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is oneH259. 27And the sevenH7651 thinH7534 and ill favouredH7451 kineH6510 that came upH5927 after themH310 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 headsH7641 blastedH7710 with the east windH6921 shall be sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458. 28This is the thingH1697 which I have spokenH1696 unto PharaohH6547: What GodH430 is about to doH6213 he shewethH7200 unto PharaohH6547. 29Behold, there comeH935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 plentyH7647 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 30And there shall ariseH6965 after themH310 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; and all the plentyH7647 shall be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the famineH7458 shall consumeH3615 the landH776; 31And the plentyH7647 shall not be knownH3045 in the landH776 by reasonH6440 of that famineH7458 followingH3651H310; for it shall be veryH3966 grievousH3515.3 32And for that the dreamH2472 was doubledH8138 unto PharaohH6547 twiceH6471; it is because the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 byH5973 GodH430, and GodH430 will shortlyH4116 bring it to passH6213.4 33Now therefore let PharaohH6547 look outH7200 a manH376 discreetH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and let him appointH6485 officersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth partH2567 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141.5 35And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of those goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 grainH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and let them keepH8104 foodH400 in the citiesH5892. 36And that foodH400 shall be for storeH6487 to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 not through the famineH7458.6
37And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650.
