Section 6

43. And the king said: Surely I see seven fat kine which seven lean ones devoured; and seven green ears and (seven) others dry; O chiefs! explain to me my dream, if you can interpret the dream.

44. They said: Confused dreams, and we do not know the interpretation of dreams.

45. And of the two (prisoners) he who had found deliverance and remembered after a long time said: I will inform you of its interpretation, so let me go:

46. Yusuf! O truthful one! explain to us seven fat kine which seven lean ones devoured, and seven green ears and (seven) others dry, that I may go back to the people so that they may know.

47. He said: You shall sow for seven years continuously, then what you reap leave it in its ear except a little of which you eat.
