Genesis 41:15-36

MSTC(i) 15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream and no man can interpret it, but I have heard say of thee that as soon as thou hearest a dream, thou dost interpret it." 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace without me." 17 Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "In my dream, me thought I stood by a river's side, 18 and there came out of the river seven fat fleshed and well favored cows, and fed in the meadow. 19 And then seven other cows came up after them, poor and very evil favored and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like, in all the land of Egypt, in evil favoredness. 20 And the seven lean and evil favored cows ate up the first seven fat cows. 21 And when they had eaten them up, a man could not perceive that they had eaten them: for they were still as evil favored as they were at the beginning. And I awoke. 22 And I saw again in my dream seven ears spring out of one stalk, full and good, 23 and seven other ears, withered, thin and blasted with wind, spring up after them. 24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I have told it unto the soothsayers, but no man can tell me what it meaneth." 25 Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, "Both Pharaoh's dreams are one. And God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years: and the seven good ears are seven years also, and is but one dream. 27 Likewise, the seven thin and evil favored cows that came out after them, are seven years: and the seven empty and blasted ears shall be seven years of hunger. 28 This is that which I said unto Pharaoh, that God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 "Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenteousness throughout all the land of Egypt. 30 And there shall arise after them seven years of hunger. So that all the plenteousness shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the hunger shall consume the land: 31 so that the plenteousness shall not be once a seen in the land, by reason of that hunger that shall come after, for it shall be exceeding great. 32 And as concerning that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh the second time, it betokeneth that the thing is certainly prepared of God, and that God will shortly bring it to pass. 33 Now therefore, let Pharaoh provide for a man of understanding and wisdom, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 And let Pharaoh make officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years 35 and let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the power of Pharaoh: that there may be food in the cities, 36 and there let them keep it: that there may be food in store in the land, against the seven years of hunger which shall come in the land of Egypt, and that the land perish not through hunger."
