Genesis 41:1-12

1And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. 2And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured cows and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. 3And, behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other cows upon the brink of the river. 4And the ill favoured and leanfleshed cows ate up the seven well favoured and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke. 5And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, fat and good.1 6And, behold, seven thin ears and parched with the east wind sprung up after them. 7And the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 8And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them to Pharaoh.

9Then spoke the chief butler to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: 10Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and put me in custody in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker: 11And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. 12And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he interpreted.
