25. Joseph said to the king, “The two dreams mean the same thing; God has told you what he is going to do.
26. The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven full ears of corn are also seven years; they have the same meaning.
27. The seven thin cows which came up later and the seven thin ears of corn scorched by the desert wind are seven years of famine.
28. It is just as I told you — God has shown you what he is going to do.
29. There will be seven years of great plenty in all the land of Egypt.
30. After that, there will be seven years of famine, and all the good years will be forgotten, because the famine will ruin the country.
31. The time of plenty will be entirely forgotten, because the famine which follows will be so terrible.
32. The repetition of your dream means that the matter is fixed by God and that he will make it happen in the near future.
