21. but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
22. I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good.
23. Seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,
24. and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

26. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one.
27. The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also seven years of famine.
28. It is as I told Pharaoh; God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29. There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,
