Genesis 41:24

Verse 24 of 57. The 41st of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

20The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;

21and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

22I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;

23and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

24The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

25Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

26The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

27The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

28That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
