The King said, "I continue to dream of seven fat cows which are being eaten by seven thin ones, and seven green pods and others which are dry. O you chiefs, tell me what my vision means if you are able to interpret the visions."
Translation endnotes
[12:43] The Quran refers to the Egyptian leader contemporary of Moses as Pharaoh. However, it refers to Egypt's ruler who appointed Joseph to be his chief adviser as king (malik), not as Pharaoh (12:43,50,54,72). The Old Testament, erroneously refers to the Egyptian king during the time of Joseph as Pharaoh (See Genesis 41:14,25,46). Joseph lived approximately in 1600 BC, and according to archeological evidences, Egyptian rulers were not yet called Pharaoh then. The title Pharaoh started with the 18th Dynasty, about a hundred years after Joseph. For the Old Testament account of this story, see Genesis chapter 37 to the end of chapter 50.
