22. I also saw in my dream seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23. Then seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.
24. The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. So I told all this to the diviner-priests, but no one could tell me its meaning.”
25. Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Both dreams of Pharaoh have the same meaning. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26. The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. Both dreams have the same meaning.
27. The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent seven years of famine.
28. This is just what I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29. Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.
