18. And, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and well favored; and they fed in a meadow:
19. And, behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ill favored and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20. And the thin and the ill favored cows did eat up the first seven fat cows:
21. And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good:
23. And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and dried by the east wind, sprung up after them:
24. And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25. And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God has showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26. The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27. And the seven thin and ill favored cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears dried by the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28. This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he shows unto Pharaoh.
