15. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one that can interpret it; but I have heard say of thee that thou canst hear dreams to interpret them.
16. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me; God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river;
18. and, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed and beautiful in appearance; and they fed in a meadow.
19. And, behold, seven other cows came up after them, lean and very ugly in appearance, and thin, such as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
20. And the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows;
21. and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22. And I also saw in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up in one stalk, full and beautiful;
23. and, behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
24. And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads; and I told this unto the magicians, but there was no one that could declare it to me.
