Genesis 41:17-32

17And PharaohH6547 saidH1696 to JosephH3130, In my dreamH2472, behold, I stoodH5975 upon the bankH8193 of the riverH2975: 18And, behold, there cameH5927 out of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 cowsH6510, fatfleshedH1277H1320 and wellH3303 favouredH8389; and they fedH7462 in a meadowH260: 19And, behold, sevenH7651 otherH312 cowsH6510 came outH5927 after themH310, poorH1803 and veryH3966 illH7451 favouredH8389 and leanfleshedH7534H1320, suchH2007 as I neverH3808 sawH7200 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for badnessH7455: 20And the leanH7534 and the ill favouredH7451 cowsH6510 ate upH398 the firstH7223 sevenH7651 fatH1277 cowsH6510: 21And when they had eaten them upH935H7130, it could not be knownH3045 that they had eaten themH935H7130; but they were stillH4758 ill favouredH7451, as at the beginningH8462. So I awokeH3364.1 22And I sawH7200 in my dreamH2472, and, behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641 came upH5927 on oneH259 stalkH7070, fullH4392 and goodH2896: 23And, behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641, witheredH6798, thinH1851, and parchedH7710 with the east windH6921, sprung upH6779 after themH310:2 24And the thinH1851 earsH7641 devouredH1104 the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641: and I toldH559 this to the magiciansH2748; but there was none that could make knownH5046 the meaning of it to me. 25And JosephH3130 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is oneH259: GodH430 hath showedH5046 PharaohH6547 what he is about to doH6213. 26The sevenH7651 goodH2896 cowsH6510 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is oneH259. 27And the sevenH7651 thinH7534 and ill favouredH7451 cowsH6510 that came upH5927 after themH310 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641 blightedH7710 with the east windH6921 shall be sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458. 28This is the thingH1697 which I have spokenH1696 to PharaohH6547: What GodH430 is about to doH6213 he showethH7200 to 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 the famineH7458 followingH310H3651; for it shall be veryH3966 grievousH3515.3 32And for that the dreamH2472 was doubledH8138 to PharaohH6547 twiceH6471; it is because the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 byH5973 GodH430, and GodH430 will shortlyH4116 bring it to passH6213.4
