Joseph Interprets Pharaoh’s Dreams

1After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile, 2and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, attractive and plump, and they fed in the reed grass. 3And behold, seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile. 4And the ugly, thin cows ate up the seven attractive, plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke. 5And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk. 6And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and ^hblighted by the east wind. 7And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump, full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. 8So in the morning ⁱhis spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the ^jmagicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

9Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today. 10When Pharaoh was ^kangry with his servants ^land put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, 11 ^mwe dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation. 12A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, ⁿhe interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream. 13And ^oas he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.”

14 ^pThen Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they ^qquickly brought him ^rout of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh. 15And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. ^sI have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16Joseph answered Pharaoh, ^t“It is not in me; ^uGod will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.” ▼

▼Or (compare Samaritan, Septuagint) Without God it is not possible to give Pharaoh an answer about his welfare

17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, ^win my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile. 18Seven cows, plump and attractive, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass. 19Seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt. 20And the thin, ugly cows ate up the first seven plump cows, 21but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke. 22I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good. 23Seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them, 24and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And ^xI told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; ^yGod has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one. 27The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also ^zseven years of famine. 28It is as I told Pharaoh; ^aaGod has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29There will come ^abseven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, 30but after them there will arise ^acseven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. ^adThe famine will consume the land, 31and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe. 32And the doubling of Pharaoh’s dream means that the ^aething is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about. 33Now therefore let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land and take one-fifth of the produce of the land ▼

▼Or  over the land and organize the land

of Egypt during the seven plentiful years. 35And ^aglet them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. 36That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”

Job 4:12-13

12 “Now a word was brought to me stealthily;
my ear received ^ahthe whisper of it.
13Amid ^aithoughts from ^ajvisions of the night,
when ^akdeep sleep falls on men,

15In ^ala dream, in ^ama vision of ^anthe night,
when ^aodeep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
