15Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
16Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn`t in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."
17Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:
18and, behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat-fleshed and well-favored. They fed in the reed-grass,
19and, behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20The lean and ill-favored cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,
21and when they had eaten them up, it couldn`t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
