Genesis 41:25-32 ▼

25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, |The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told 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. The dreams are the same.

27 And the seven thin and miserable-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind. They are seven years of famine.

28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

29 Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.

30 But after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land,

31 and the abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.

32 Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
