New International Version

Genesis 41:24-27 New International Version (NIV)

24. The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me.”

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

26. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream.

27. The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine.
