File:Joseph Interprets Pharaohs Dream - Genesis 41 25-32.jpg

Summary
Genesis 41:25-41:32

41:25. Joseph answered: The king's dream is one: God has shown to Pharaoh what He is about to do.

41:26. The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.

41:27. The seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:

41:28. Which shall be fulfilled in this order.

41:29. Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:

41:30. After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,

41:31. and the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.

41:32. For that you did see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God comes to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.
