Genesis 41:17-23

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁷ So Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile, ¹⁸ when seven well-fed, healthy-looking cows came up from the Nile and grazed among the reeds. ¹⁹ After them, seven other cows – weak, very sickly, and thin – came up. I’ve never seen such sickly ones as these in all the land of Egypt. ²⁰ Then the thin, sickly 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 also saw seven ears of corn, full and good, coming up on one stalk. ²³ After them, seven ears of corn – withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind – sprouted up.
