15. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed a dream and there’s no one to interpret it. I heard about you— it’s said that you can listen to a dream to interpret it.”
16. Then Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, “It’s not within me. God will answer with shalom for Pharaoh.”
17. So Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream, there I was, standing by the bank of the Nile.
18. And to my surprise, out of the Nile seven cows were coming up, beefy and good-looking, and they grazed in the reeds.
19. Then all of a sudden, there were seven other cows coming up after them, feeble, very ugly and emaciated. I’ve never seen the likes of these in the whole land of Egypt for ugliness.
