20 Then the thin, ugly cows ate the first seven well-fed cows.
21 When they had devoured them, you could not tell that they had devoured them; their appearance was as bad as it had been before. Then I woke up.
22 In my dream I had also seen seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, coming up on one stalk.
23 After them, seven heads of grain — withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind — sprouted up.
24 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this to the magicians, but no one can tell me what it means.”
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads are seven years. The dreams mean the same thing.
