Genesis 41:18-26

1. 18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

2. 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:

3. 20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

4. 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.

5. 22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

6. 23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

7. 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.

8. 25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

9. 26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
