22I also saw in my dream seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23Then seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.
24The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. So I told all this to the diviner-priests, but no one could tell me its meaning.”
25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh,“Both dreams of Pharaoh have the same meaning. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. Both dreams have the same meaning.
27The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent seven years of famine.
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.
32The dream was repeated to Pharaoh because the matter has been decreed by God, and God will make it happen soon.
33“So now Pharaoh should look for a wise and discerning man and give him authority over all the land of Egypt.
34Pharaoh should do this– he should appoint officials throughout the land to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35They should gather all the excess food during these good years that are coming. By Pharaoh’s authority they should store up grain so the cities will have food, and they should preserve it.
36This food should be held in storage for the land in preparation for the seven years of famine that will occur throughout the land of Egypt. In this way the land will survive the famine.”
37This advice made sense to Pharaoh and all his officials.
38So Pharaoh asked his officials,“Can we find a man like Joseph, one in whom the Spirit of God is present?”
39So Pharaoh said to Joseph,“Because God has enabled you to know all this, there is no one as wise and discerning as you are!
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.
53The seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54Then the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had predicted. There was famine in all the other lands, but throughout the land of Egypt there was food.
55When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the people of Egypt,“Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
41“See here,” Pharaoh said to Joseph,“I place you in authority over all the land of Egypt.”
15Pharaoh said to Joseph,“I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard about you, that you can interpret dreams.”
16Joseph replied to Pharaoh,“It is not within my power, but God will speak concerning the welfare of Pharaoh.”
17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,“In my dream I was standing by the edge of the Nile.
18Then seven fat and fine-looking cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.
19Then seven other cows came up after them; they were scrawny, very bad-looking, and lean. I had never seen such bad-looking cows as these in all the land of Egypt!
20The lean, bad-looking cows ate up the seven fat cows.
29he said to him,“I am the LORD. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am telling you.”
2“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and his hordes:“‘Who are you like in your greatness?
22“Let them produce evidence! Let them tell us what will happen! Tell us about your earlier predictive oracles, so we may examine them and see how they were fulfilled. Or decree for us some future events!
23Predict how future events will turn out, so we might know you are gods. Yes, do something good or bad, so we might be frightened and in awe.
17Pharaoh said to Joseph,“Say to your brothers,‘Do this: Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan!
2“Son of man, turn toward Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
7God sent me ahead of you to preserve you on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8So now, it is not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me an adviser to Pharaoh, lord over all his household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
19The magicians said to Pharaoh,“It is the finger of God!” But Pharaoh’s heart remained hard, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.
17For the scripture says to Pharaoh:“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may demonstrate my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.”
44Pharaoh also said to Joseph,“I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will move his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
