15 And Pharaoh H6547 said H559 unto Joseph, H3130 I have dreamed H2492 a dream, H2472 and there is none that can interpret H6622 it: and I have heard H8085 say H559 of thee, that thou canst understand H8085 a dream H2472 to interpret H6622 it.
16 And Joseph H3130 answered H6030 Pharaoh, H6547 saying, H559 It is not in me: H1107 God H430 shall give H6030 Pharaoh H6547 an answer H6030 of peace. H7965
17 And Pharaoh H6547 said H1696 unto Joseph, H3130 In my dream, H2472 behold, I stood H5975 upon the bank H8193 of the river: H2975
18 And, behold, there came up H5927 out of the river H2975 seven H7651 kine, H6510 fatfleshed H1277 H1320 and well H3303 favoured; H8389 and they fed H7462 in a meadow: H260
19 And, behold, seven H7651 other H312 kine H6510 came up H5927 after them, H310 poor H1803 and very H3966 ill H7451 favoured H8389 and leanfleshed, H7534 H1320 such H2007 as I never H3808 saw H7200 in all the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for badness: H7455
20 And the lean H7534 and the ill favoured H7451 kine H6510 did eat up H398 the first H7223 seven H7651 fat H1277 kine: H6510
21 And when they had eaten them up, H935 H7130 it could not be known H3045 that they had eaten them; H935 H7130 but they were still H4758 ill favoured, H7451 as at the beginning. H8462 So I awoke. H3364
22 And I saw H7200 in my dream, H2472 and, behold, seven H7651 ears H7641 came up H5927 in one H259 stalk, H7070 full H4392 and good: H2896
23 And, behold, seven H7651 ears, H7641 withered, H6798 thin, H1851 and blasted H7710 with the east wind, H6921 sprung up H6779 after them: H310
24 And the thin H1851 ears H7641 devoured H1104 the seven H7651 good H2896 ears: H7641 and I told H559 this unto the magicians; H2748 but there was none that could declare H5046 it to me.
25 And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto Pharaoh, H6547 The dream H2472 of Pharaoh H6547 is one: H259 God H430 hath shewed H5046 Pharaoh H6547 what he is about to do. H6213
26 The seven H7651 good H2896 kine H6510 are seven H7651 years; H8141 and the seven H7651 good H2896 ears H7641 are seven H7651 years: H8141 the dream H2472 is one. H259
27 And the seven H7651 thin H7534 and ill favoured H7451 kine H6510 that came up H5927 after them H310 are seven H7651 years; H8141 and the seven H7651 empty H7386 ears H7641 blasted H7710 with the east wind H6921 shall be seven H7651 years H8141 of famine. H7458
28 This is the thing H1697 which I have spoken H1696 unto Pharaoh: H6547 What God H430 is about to do H6213 he sheweth H7200 unto Pharaoh. H6547
29 Behold, there come H935 seven H7651 years H8141 of great H1419 plenty H7647 throughout all the land H776 of Egypt: H4714
30 And there shall arise H6965 after them H310 seven H7651 years H8141 of famine; H7458 and all the plenty H7647 shall be forgotten H7911 in the land H776 of Egypt; H4714 and the famine H7458 shall consume H3615 the land; H776
31 And the plenty H7647 shall not be known H3045 in the land H776 by reason H6440 of that famine H7458 following; H310 H3651 for it shall be very H3966 grievous. H3515
32 And for that the dream H2472 was doubled H8138 unto Pharaoh H6547 twice; H6471 it is because the thing H1697 is established H3559 by H5973 God, H430 and God H430 will shortly H4116 bring it to pass. H6213
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh H6547 look out H7200 a man H376 discreet H995 and wise, H2450 and set H7896 him over the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
34 Let Pharaoh H6547 do H6213 this, and let him appoint H6485 officers H6496 over the land, H776 and take up the fifth part H2567 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 in the seven H7651 plenteous H7647 years. H8141
35 And let them gather H6908 all the food H400 of those good H2896 years H8141 that come, H935 and lay up H6651 corn H1250 under the hand H3027 of Pharaoh, H6547 and let them keep H8104 food H400 in the cities. H5892
36 And that food H400 shall be for store H6487 to the land H776 against the seven H7651 years H8141 of famine, H7458 which shall be in the land H776 of Egypt; H4714 that the land H776 perish H3772 not through the famine. H7458
