rsv@Genesis:41:16 @ Joseph answered Pharaoh, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."
rsv@Genesis:41:17 @ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile;
rsv@Genesis:41:18 @ and seven cows, fat and sleek, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass;
rsv@Genesis:41:19 @ and seven other cows came up after them, poor and very gaunt and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt.
rsv@Genesis:41:20 @ And the thin and gaunt cows ate up the first seven fat cows,
rsv@Genesis:41:21 @ but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as gaunt as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
rsv@Genesis:41:22 @ I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good;
rsv@Genesis:41:23 @ and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,
rsv@Genesis:41:24 @ and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."
rsv@Genesis:41:25 @ Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
