Genesis 41:7-32

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 PharaohH6547.1 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.2 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 awokeH3364.3 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 themH310:4 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 grievousH3515.5 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 passH6213.6
