Joseph Interprets Pharaoh’s Dreams

18when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.19After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!20Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
