And there was with us a
young man, an Hebrew born, servant unto the chief marshal. And we
told him, and he declared our dreams to us according to either of
our dreams. And as he declared them unto us, even so it came to
pass. I was restored to mine office again, and he was hanged. Then
Pharao sent and called Ioseph. And they made him haste out of
prison. And he shaved himself and changed his raiment, and went in
to Pharao. And Pharao said unto Ioseph: I have dreamed a dream and
no man can interpretate it, but I have heard say of thee that as
soon as thou hearest a dream, thou dost interpretate it. And
Ioseph answered Pharao saying: God shall give Pharao an answer of
peace without me. Pharao said unto Ioseph: in my dream me thought
I stood by a river's side, and there came out of the river seven
fat fleshed and well favored kine, and fed in the meadow. And then
seven other kine came up after them, poor and very evil favored
and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like in all the land
of Egypt in evil favoredness. And the seven lean and evil favored
kine ate up the first seven fat kine. And when they had eaten them
up, a man could not perceive that they had eaten them: for they
were still as evil favored as they were at the beginning.
