41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
Voice Reading
41:15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
Voice Reading
41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Voice Reading
41:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
Voice Reading
41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
Voice Reading
41:19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
Voice Reading
41:20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
Voice Reading
41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Voice Reading
41:22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
Voice Reading
41:23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
Voice Reading
41:24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
Voice Reading
41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Voice Reading
41:26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Voice Reading
41:27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
Voice Reading
41:28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
Voice Reading
41:29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Voice Reading
41:30 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;
Voice Reading
41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
Voice Reading
41:32 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.
Voice Reading
41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Voice Reading
41:34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
Voice Reading
41:35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
Voice Reading
41:36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
Voice Reading
41:37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Voice Reading
41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
