Genesis 41:22-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

24. And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven good ears of grain. And I told the magicians, but there was none to explain it to me.”

25. Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

26. The seven good cows, they are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain, they are seven years. The dreams are one.

27. And the seven thin and ugly cows coming up after them, they are seven years, and the seven empty ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, they are also seven years of famine.

28. This is the word that I have spoken to Pharaoh; God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

29. Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.

30. Then seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will consume the land.

31. Abundance in the land will not be known because of the famine that follows, for it will be very heavy.
