18. and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass:
19. and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20. and the lean and ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21. and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good:
23. and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24. and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it 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: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh.
26. The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
