Genesis 41:16-25

¹⁶“I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”

          17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
          18when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
          19After them, seven other cows —sickly, ugly, and thin — came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
          20Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
          21When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.

          22In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
          23After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted — withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
          24And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”

²⁵At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
