Genesis 41:12-19 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. And there with us was a young man, a Hebrew servant of the chief of the guard, and we told him the dream, and he interpreted our dreams for us, each according to his dream he interpreted.

13. And it happened just as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and him he hanged.”

14. Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they brought him quickly from the prison. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.

15. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed a dream, but there is none to interpret it. Now, I have heard concerning you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”

16. Then Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, “It is not in my power; God will answer concerning the well-being of Pharaoh.”

17. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now in my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile,

18. and behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.

19. And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very ugly and gaunt—never have I seen any as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
