And the thin ears will devour the seven ears fat and full. And Pharaoh will awake, and behold, a dream. And it will be in the morning, and his soul will be troubled; and he will send and call all the sacred scribes of Egypt, and all his wise; and Pharaoh will relate to them his dream; and none interpreting them to Pharaoh. And the chief of the cup-bearers will speak to Pharaoh, saying, I, remembering my sin this day. Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and gave me in guard in the house of the chief of the cooks, me and the chief of the bakers. And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he: we dreamed a man according to the interpretation of his dream. And there with us a Hebrew youth, servant to the chief of the cooks: and we shall relate to him, and he will interpret to us our dreams; and he interpreted a man according to his dream.

And the heifers thin and evil will devour the first seven fat heifers. And they shall come into their belly, and they shall not know that they came into their belly; and evil of form as that in the beginning. And I shall awake. And I shall see in my dream, and behold, seven ears coming up in one stalk, full and good. And behold, seven ears dry, thin, blasted by the east, springing up after them. And the thin ears will swallow the seven good ears: and I spake to the sacred scribes, and there was none announcing to me. And Joseph will say to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, one: this which he did; God announces to Pharaoh. The seven good heifers, they are seven years; and the seven good ears, they are seven years: this dream one. And the seven heifers, thin and evil, coming up after them, they are seven years; and the seven ears, thin, blasted by the east, shall be seven years of famine. This the word which I spake to Pharaoh: what God did, he showed Pharaoh. Behold, seven years coming of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt And seven years of famine arose after them, and all the plenty was forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine consumed the land. And the plenty shall not be known in the land on account of the famine after this; for it shall be exceedingly heavy. And because of the repeating of Pharaoh's dream twice, that the word was prepared from God; and God is hastening to do it And now will Pharaoh look out a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt And will Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, exacting a fifth part of the land of Egypt, in the seven years of plenty. And they shall gather all the food of these good years coming, and they shall heap up the grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and they shall watch food in the cities. And the food was for a deposit to the land, for the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.

And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, After that God showed thee all this, none discerning and wise as thou. Thou shalt be over my house, and to thy mouth all my people shall bend: only upon the throne I shall be great above thee. And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, See, I gave thee over all the land of Egypt And Pharaoh will remove his signet ring from his hand, and will give it upon Joseph's hand; and will put upon him a white garment, and will put a gold collar about his neck. And he will cause him to ride in the second chariot which is to him. And they will cry out before him, Aback. And he gave him over all the land of Egypt.
