Genesis 41:16

14 ^aThen Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they ^bbrought him quickly ^cout of the dungeon; and he shaved, ^dchanged his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.

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.

18 Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
