Genesis 41:1-36
Two years later Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,when seven healthy-looking, well-fed cows came up from the Nile and began to graze among the reeds.After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside those cows along the bank of the Nile.The sickly, thin cows ate the healthy, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.He fell asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.After them, seven heads of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up.The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh woke up, and it was only a dream.When morning came, he was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh,“ Today I remember my faults.Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.He and I had dreams on the same night; each dream had its own meaning.Now a young Hebrew, a slave of the captain of the guards, was with us there. We told him our dreams, he interpreted our dreams for us, and each had its own interpretation.It turned out just the way he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they quickly brought him from the dungeon. He shaved, changed his clothes, and went to Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ I have had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said about you that you can hear a dream and interpret it.”“ I am not able to,” Joseph answered Pharaoh.“ It is God who will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”So Pharaoh said to Joseph:“ In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,when seven well-fed, healthy-looking cows came up from the Nile and began to graze among the reeds.After them, seven other cows— ugly, very sickly, and thin— came up. I’ve never seen such ugly ones as these in all the land of Egypt.Then the thin, ugly cows ate the first seven well-fed cows.When they had devoured them, you could not tell that they had devoured them; their appearance was as bad as it had been before. Then I woke up.In my dream I had also seen seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, coming up on one stalk.After them, seven heads of grain— withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind— sprouted up.The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this to the magicians, but no one can tell me what it means.”Then Joseph said to Pharaoh,“ Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads are seven years. The dreams mean the same thing.The seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven worthless, scorched heads of grain are seven years of famine.“ It is just as I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt.After them, seven years of famine will take place, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will devastate the land.The abundance in the land will not be remembered because of the famine that follows it, for the famine will be very severe.Since the dream was given twice to Pharaoh, it means that the matter has been determined by God, and He will carry it out soon.“ So now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.Let Pharaoh do this: Let him appoint overseers over the land and take a fifth of the harvest of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.Let them gather all the excess food during these good years that are coming. Under Pharaoh’s authority, store the grain in the cities, so they may preserve it as food.The food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will take place in the land of Egypt. Then the country will not be wiped out by the famine.”
