Joseph Is Brought Before Pharaoh

14

Then Pharaoh summoned Yosef, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.

15

Pharaoh said to Yosef, "I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; but I've heard it said about you that when you hear a dream, you can interpret it."

16

Yosef answered Pharaoh, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer that will set his mind at peace."

17

Pharaoh said to Yosef, "In my dream, I stood at the edge of the river;

18

and there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek; and they began feeding in the swamp grass.

19

After them, there came up out of the river seven more cows, poor, miserable-looking and lean -I've never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt!

20

Then the lean and miserablelooking cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

21

But after they had eaten them up, one couldn't tell that they had eaten them; because they were as miserable-looking as before. At this point I woke up.

22

But I dreamed again and saw seven full, ripe ears of grain growing out of a single stalk.

23

After them, seven ears, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up.

24

And the thin ears swallowed up the seven ripe ears. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me."
