God has announced to Pharaoh what he is about to do. I told the religious experts, but they couldn’t explain it to me.”Ģ5 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh has actually had one dream. 23 Just then, seven hard and thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, sprouted after them, 24 and the thin ears swallowed up the healthy ears. 22 I went to sleep again and saw in my dream seven full and healthy ears of grain growing on one stalk.

They looked just as bad as they had before. 21 But after they swallowed them whole, no one would have known it. 20 Then the thin, frail cows devoured the first seven, fattened cows. I’ve never seen such awful cows in all the land of Egypt. 19 Just then, seven other cows, weak and frail and thin, climbed up after them. 18 In front of me, seven fattened, stout cows climbed up out of the Nile and grazed on the reeds. God will give Pharaoh a favorable response.”ġ7 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile.

Then I heard that when you hear a dream, you can interpret it.”ġ6 Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It’s not me. 15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but no one could interpret it. He shaved, changed clothes, and appeared before Pharaoh.

13 His interpretations came true exactly: Pharaoh restored me to my position but hanged him.”ġ4 So Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they quickly brought him from the dungeon. We described our dreams to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us, giving us an interpretation for each dream. 12 A young Hebrew man, a servant of the commander of the royal guard, was with us. 11 We both dreamed one night, he and I, and each of our dreams had its own interpretation. 10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker under arrest with the commander of the royal guard. Pharaoh described his dreams to them, but they couldn’t interpret them for Pharaoh.ĩ Then the chief wine steward spoke to Pharaoh: “Today I’ve just remembered my mistake. 8 In the morning, he was disturbed and summoned all of Egypt’s religious experts and all of its advisors. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream. 6 Just then, seven ears of grain, scrawny and scorched by the east wind, sprouted after them, 7 and the scrawny ears swallowed up the full and well-formed ears. 5 He went back to sleep and had a second dream, in which seven ears of grain, full and healthy, grew on a single stalk. 4 The terrible-looking, scrawny cows devoured the seven healthy-looking, fattened cows. 3 Just then, seven other cows, terrible-looking and scrawny, climbed up out of the Nile after them and stood beside them on the bank of the Nile. 2 In front of him, seven healthy-looking, fattened cows climbed up out of the Nile and grazed on the reeds. 41 Two years later, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing near the Nile.
