And behold, from the Nile were coming up seven cows, of handsome appearance androbust flesh, and they pastured in the marshland. 3. And behold, seven other cows were coming up afterthem from the Nile, of ugly appearance and lean of flesh, and they stood beside the cows [which were]on the Nile bank. 4. And the cows of ugly appearance and lean of flesh devoured the seven cows thatwere of handsome appearance and healthy; then Pharaoh awoke. 5. And he fell asleep and dreamedagain, and behold, seven ears of grain were growing on one stalk, healthy and good. 6. And behold,seven ears of grain, thin and beaten by the east wind, were growing up after them. 7. And the thin earsof grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears of grain; then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, adream. 8. Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; so he sent and called all thenecromancers of Egypt and all its sages, and Pharaoh related to them his dream, but no one interpretedthem for Pharaoh.

:ei «ca£rÎlM25. And Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dream is one; what God is doing He has told Pharaoh. 26.The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain are seven years; it is one dream.27. And the seven meager and ugly cows coming up after them are seven years, and the seven emptyears of grain, beaten by the east wind, will be seven years of famine. 28. It is this matter that I havespoken to Pharaoh; what God is about to do He has shown Pharaoh. 29. Behold, seven years are coming,great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. 30. And seven years of famine will arise after them, and all

the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will destroy the land. 31. And the plentywill not be known because of that famine to follow, for it [will be] very severe. 32. And concerning therepetition of the dream to Pharaoh twice that is because the matter is ready [to emanate] from God, andGod is hastening to execute it. 33. So now, let Pharaoh seek out an understanding and wise man andappoint him over the land of Egypt. 34. Let Pharaoh do [this] and appoint officials over the land andprepare the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty. 35. And let them collect all the food of thesecoming good years, and let them gather the grain under Pharaoh's hand, food in the cities, and keep it.36. Thus the food will remain as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will be in theland of Egypt, so that the land will not be destroyed by the famine." 37. The matter pleased Pharaoh andall his servants.
