Genesis 41:10-25 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.

11. And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.

12. And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told them, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.

13. And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.

14. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved himself, and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.

15. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.

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

17. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.

18. And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.

19. And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed--such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.

20. And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;

21. and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

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

23. And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;

24. and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.

25. And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.
