THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Genesis (Author Moses)

41:14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

41:15And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.

41:16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

41:17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

41:18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

41:19And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

41:20And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

41:21And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

41:22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

41:23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

41:24And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

41:25And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

41:26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

41:27And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

41:28This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

41:29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

41:30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

41:31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

41:32And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
