1 Two full years later, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing on the bank of the Nile River.
Genesis 41:1
2 In his dream he saw seven fat, healthy cows come up out of the river and begin grazing in the marsh grass.
Genesis 41:2
3 Then he saw seven more cows come up behind them from the Nile, but these were scrawny and thin. These cows stood beside the fat cows on the riverbank.
Genesis 41:3
4 Then the scrawny, thin cows ate the seven healthy, fat cows! At this point in the dream, Pharaoh woke up.
Genesis 41:4
5 But he fell asleep again and had a second dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain, plump and beautiful, growing on a single stalk.
Genesis 41:5
6 Then seven more heads of grain appeared, but these were shriveled and withered by the east wind.
Genesis 41:6
7 And these thin heads swallowed up the seven plump, well-formed heads! Then Pharaoh woke up again and realized it was a dream.
Genesis 41:7
8 The next morning Pharaoh was very disturbed by the dreams. So he called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. When Pharaoh told them his dreams, not one of them could tell him what they meant.
Genesis 41:8
9 Finally, the king’s chief cup-bearer spoke up. “Today I have been reminded of my failure,” he told Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:9
10 “Some time ago, you were angry with the chief baker and me, and you imprisoned us in the palace of the captain of the guard.
Genesis 41:10
11 One night the chief baker and I each had a dream, and each dream had its own meaning.
Genesis 41:11
12 There was a young Hebrew man with us in the prison who was a slave of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he told us what each of our dreams meant.
Genesis 41:12
13 And everything happened just as he had predicted. I was restored to my position as cup-bearer, and the chief baker was executed and impaled on a pole.”
Genesis 41:13
14 Pharaoh sent for Joseph at once, and he was quickly brought from the prison. After he shaved and changed his clothes, he went in and stood before Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:14
15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it.”
Genesis 41:15
16 “It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.”
Genesis 41:16
17 So Pharaoh told Joseph his dream. “In my dream,” he said, “I was standing on the bank of the Nile River,
Genesis 41:17
18 and I saw seven fat, healthy cows come up out of the river and begin grazing in the marsh grass.
Genesis 41:18
19 But then I saw seven sick-looking cows, scrawny and thin, come up after them. I’ve never seen such sorry-looking animals in all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:19
20 These thin, scrawny cows ate the seven fat cows.
Genesis 41:20
21 But afterward you wouldn’t have known it, for they were still as thin and scrawny as before! Then I woke up.
Genesis 41:21
22 “In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, full and beautiful, growing on a single stalk.
Genesis 41:22
23 Then seven more heads of grain appeared, but these were blighted, shriveled, and withered by the east wind.
Genesis 41:23
24 And the shriveled heads swallowed the seven healthy heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but no one could tell me what they mean.”
Genesis 41:24
25 Joseph responded, “Both of Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. God is telling Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do.
Genesis 41:25
26 The seven healthy cows and the seven healthy heads of grain both represent seven years of prosperity.
Genesis 41:26
27 The seven thin, scrawny cows that came up later and the seven thin heads of grain, withered by the east wind, represent seven years of famine.
Genesis 41:27
28 “This will happen just as I have described it, for God has revealed to Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do.
Genesis 41:28
29 The next seven years will be a period of great prosperity throughout the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:29
30 But afterward there will be seven years of famine so great that all the prosperity will be forgotten in Egypt. Famine will destroy the land.
Genesis 41:30
31 This famine will be so severe that even the memory of the good years will be erased.
Genesis 41:31
