41:1. After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
41:2. Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
41:3. Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and lean fleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
41:4. And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
41:5. He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
41:6. Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
41:7. And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
41:8. And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
41:9. Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
41:10. The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers.
