17. Therefore, Pharaoh explained what he had seen: "I thought myself to be standing on the bank of a river,
18. and seven cows climbed up from the river, exceedingly beautiful and full of flesh. And they grazed in a pasture of a marshy greenery.
19. And behold, there followed after these, another seven cows, with such deformity and emaciation as I had never seen in the land of Egypt.
20. These devoured and consumed the first,
21. giving no indication of being full. But they remained in the same state of emaciation and squalor. Awakening, but being weighed down into sleep again,
22. I saw a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
23. Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
24. And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it."
