Bible Verses About Egypt: Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams

Then sent Pharaoh, and called Ioseph, and they brought him hastily out of prison, and he shaued him, and chaunged his rayment, and came to Pharaoh.

Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it.

And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:

And lo, there came vp out of the riuer seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe.

Also loe, seuen other kine came vp after them, poore and very euilfauoured, and leanefleshed: I neuer sawe the like in all the lande of Egypt, for euilfauoured.

And the leane and euilfauoured kine did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.

And when they had eaten them vp, it could not be knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still as euilfauoured, as they were at the beginning: so did I awake.

Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire.

And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne, and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them.

And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto me.

Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.

The seuen good kine are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame.

Likewise the seuen thinne and euilfauoured kine, that came out after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East winde, are seuen yeeres of famine.

This is the thing which I haue saide vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.

Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie in all the land of Egypt.

Againe, there shall arise after them seuen yeeres of famine, so that all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land:

Neither shall the plentie bee knowen in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great.

And therefore the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaoh the second time, because the thing is established by God, and God hasteth to performe it.
