Genesis 41:20-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

20. and the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

21. Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.

22. I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk;

23. and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them;

24. and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

25. Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do.

26. The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one and the same.
