Revised Version 1895
Genesis 41:8-24
8And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the morningH1242 that his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470; and he sentH7971 and calledH7121 for allH3605 the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, and allH3605 the wiseH2450 menH2450 thereof: and PharaohH6547 toldH5608 them his dreamH2472; but there was noneH369 that could interpretH6622 them unto PharaohH6547.
9Then spake the chiefH8269 butler unto PharaohH6547, sayingH559, I doH589 rememberH2142 my faults this dayH3117:
10PharaohH6547 was wroth with his servantsH5650, and putH5414 meH5414 in ward in the houseH1004 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876, meH5414 and the chiefH8269 bakerH644:
11and weH589 dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 in one nightH3915, I and he; weH589 dreamedH2492 eachH376 manH376 accordingH376 to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472.
12And there was with usH5608 there a youngH5288 manH376, an HebrewH5680, servantH5650 to the captainH8269 of the guardH2876; and weH8033 toldH5608 him, and he interpretedH6622 to usH5608 our dreamsH2472; to eachH376 manH376 accordingH376 to his dreamH2472 he didH376 interpretH6622.
13And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as he interpretedH6622 to usH5921, soH3651 it was; meH7725 he restoredH7725 unto mine office, and him he hangedH8518.
14Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 and calledH7121 JosephH3130, and they broughtH935 him hastily outH4480 of the dungeon: and he shavedH1548 himselfH413, and changedH2498 his raiment, and cameH935 in unto PharaohH6547.
15And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is noneH369 that canH369 interpretH6622 it: and I have heardH8085 sayH559 of thee, that when thou hearest a dreamH2472 thou canst interpretH6622 it.
16And JosephH3130 answeredH559 PharaohH6547, sayingH559, It is not in meH6030: GodH430 shall giveH6030 PharaohH6547 an answerH6030 of peaceH7965.
17And PharaohH6547 spake unto JosephH3130, In my dreamH2472, beholdH2005, I stoodH5975 uponH5921 the brink of the riverH2975:
18and, beholdH2009, there cameH5927 upH5927 outH4480 of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass:
19and, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 otherH312 kine cameH5927 upH5927 afterH310 them, poor and veryH3966 ill favoured and leanfleshed, suchH3605 as I neverH3808 sawH7200 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for badness:
20and the leanH7534 and ill favoured kine did eatH398 upH853 the firstH7223 sevenH7651 fatH1277 kine:
21and when they had eaten them upH935, it could notH3808 be knownH3045 that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginningH8462. SoH3808 I awokeH3364.
22And I sawH7200 in my dreamH2472, and, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641 cameH5927 upH5927 uponH7200 one stalkH7070, fullH4392 and goodH2896:
23and, beholdH2009, sevenH7651 earsH7641, witheredH6798, thinH1851, and blasted with the eastH6921 windH6921, sprungH6779 upH6779 afterH310 them:
24and the thinH1851 earsH7641 swallowedH1104 upH1104 the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641: and I toldH5046 it unto the magiciansH2748; but there was noneH369 that could declareH5046 it to meH413.
