21. “Yet when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
22. “Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven heads coming up on one stalk, complete and good,
23. then saw seven heads, withered, lean, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them.
24. “And the lean heads swallowed the seven good heads. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
25. And Yosĕph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:
26. “The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years – it is one dream.
27. “And the seven lean and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of scarcity of food.
28. “This is the word which I spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
29. “See, seven years of great plenty are coming in all the land of Mitsrayim,
30. but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all the plenty be forgotten in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the land,
31. and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land, because of the scarcity of food following, for it is very severe.
32. “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the word is established by Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it.
33. “And now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Mitsrayim.
34. “Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty.
35. “And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
