Genesis 41:2-27
2And, behold, there came upH5927 out of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 wellH3303 favouredH4758 kineH6510 and fatfleshedH1320H1277; and they fedH7462 in a meadowH260. 3And, behold, sevenH7651 otherH312 kineH6510 came upH5927 after themH310 out of the riverH2975, illH7451 favouredH4758 and leanfleshedH1320H1851; and stoodH5975 byH681 the other kineH6510 upon the brinkH8193 of the riverH2975. 4And the illH7451 favouredH4758 and leanfleshedH1320H1851 kineH6510 did eat upH398 the sevenH7651 wellH3303 favouredH4758 and fatH1277 kineH6510. So PharaohH6547 awokeH3364. 5And he sleptH3462 and dreamedH2492 the second timeH8145: and, behold, sevenH7651 heads of grainH7641 came upH5927 upon oneH259 stalkH7070, rankH1277 and goodH2896.1 6And, behold, sevenH7651 thinH1851 headsH7641 and blastedH7710 with the east windH6921 sprung upH6779 after themH310. 7And the seven thinH1851 headsH7641 devouredH1104 the sevenH7651 rankH1277 and fullH4392 headsH7641. 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 magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, and all the wise menH2450 thereof: and PharaohH6547 toldH5608 them his dreamH2472; but there was none that could interpretH6622 them unto PharaohH6547.
9Then spakeH1696 the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 unto PharaohH6547, sayingH559, I do rememberH2142 my faultsH2399 this dayH3117: 10PharaohH6547 was wrothH7107 with his servantsH5650, and putH5414 me in wardH4929 in the captainH8269 of the guard’sH2876 houseH1004, both me and the chiefH8269 bakerH644: 11And we dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 in oneH259 nightH3915, I and he; we dreamedH2492 each manH376 according to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472. 12And there was there with us a young manH5288, an HebrewH5680, servantH5650 to the captainH8269 of the guardH2876; and we toldH5608 him, and he interpretedH6622 to us our dreamsH2472; to each manH376 according to his dreamH2472 he did interpretH6622. 13And it came to pass, as he interpretedH6622 to us, so it was; me he restoredH7725 unto mine officeH3653, and him he hangedH8518.
14Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 and calledH7121 JosephH3130, and they brought him hastilyH7323 out of the dungeonH953: and he shavedH1548 himself, and changedH2498 his raimentH8071, and came inH935 unto PharaohH6547.2 15And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is none that can interpretH6622 it: and I have heardH8085 sayH559 of thee, that thou canst understandH8085 a dreamH2472 to interpretH6622 it.3 16And JosephH3130 answeredH6030 PharaohH6547, sayingH559, It is not in meH1107: GodH430 shall giveH6030 PharaohH6547 an answerH6030 of peaceH7965. 17And PharaohH6547 saidH1696 unto JosephH3130, In my dreamH2472, behold, I stoodH5975 upon the bankH8193 of the riverH2975: 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 awokeH3364.4 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 themH310:5 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.
