CHAPTER 41.

And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
