Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Genesis 41
¹⁷ And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
¹⁸ And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favored; and they fed in a meadow:
¹⁹ And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favored and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
²⁰ And the lean and the ill favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
²¹ And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
²² And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
²³ And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
²⁴ And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
²⁵ And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
²⁶ The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
²⁷ And the seven thin and ill favored kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
