    1Joseph’s Rise to Power At the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. As he was standing by the Nile,

    2seven fine-looking, fat cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.

    3Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile, and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river.

    4The bad-looking, thin cows ate the seven fine-looking, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.

    5Then he fell asleep again and had a second dream: There were seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, healthy and good.

    6Then seven heads of grain, thin and burned by the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

    7The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream.

    8In the morning he was troubled, so he called for all the diviner-priests of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

    28This is just what I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

    29Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.

    30But seven years of famine will occur after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land.

    31The previous abundance of the land will not be remembered because of the famine that follows, for the famine will be very severe.
