¹⁷ And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:

^{18 Ref} and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored: and they fed in the reed-grass:

¹⁹ and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

²⁰ and the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

^{21 Ref} and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

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

^{23 Ref} and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, `and' blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

^{24 Ref} and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

^{25 Ref} And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh.
