15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. aBut I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”  
16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, a“It is not in me; bGod will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”  
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Behold, ain my dream I stood on the bank of the river.

23 Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
24 And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So aI told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

27 And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are aseven years of famine.  
28 aThis is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.  
29 Indeed aseven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;
