Pharaoh's Dream for Kids: Bible Story & Printables
The story in a nutshell
Pharaoh dreamed that seven fat kine were eaten up by seven leanfleshed kine, and seven good ears of corn were devoured by seven thin ears, and none of the magicians could interpret it. The chief butler remembered Joseph, and he was brought hastily out of the dungeon. Joseph said, "It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace," and told him seven years of great plenty would come, then seven years of famine. Pharaoh set Joseph over his house, for there was "none so discreet and wise as thou art."
