Genesis 41
Reading Genesis chapter 41 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
2 Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
3 Other seven also came up out of the river, ill-favoured, and lean fleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
4 And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
5 He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
6 Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
7 And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
8 And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
9 Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
10 The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers.
