17. And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river
18. and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds,
19. then saw seven other cows coming up after them, poor and very ugly and lean of flesh, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Mitsrayim.
20. “And the lean of flesh and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows.
21. “Yet when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
22. “Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven heads coming up on one stalk, complete and good,
23. then saw seven heads, withered, lean, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them.
