17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now in my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
18 and behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very ugly and gaunt—never have I seen any as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
20 And the thin and ugly cows ate the former seven healthy cows.
21 But when they went into their bellies it could not be known that they went into their bellies, for their appearance was as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
22 Then I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears of grain were coming out of one stalk, full and good.
23 And behold, seven withered ears of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
