Genesis 41:22-33 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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

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

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

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

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

27. And the seven lean and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.

28. That is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath shewed unto Pharaoh.

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

30. and 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;

31. and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.

32. And 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.

33. Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
