41:17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing33 by the edge of the Nile. 41:18 Then seven fat and fine-looking cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.34 41:19 Then35 seven other cows came up after them; they were scrawny, very bad-looking, and lean. I had never seen such bad-looking cows36 as these in all the land of Egypt! 41:20 The lean, bad-looking cows ate up the seven37 fat cows. 41:21 When they had eaten them,38 no one would have known39 that they had done so, for they were just as bad-looking as before. Then I woke up. 41:22 I also saw in my dream40 seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good. 41:23 Then41 seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them. 41:24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. So I told all this42 to the diviner-priests, but no one could tell me its meaning.”43
