24. And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it."
25. Joseph responded: "The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
26. The seven beautiful cows, and the seven full ears of grain, are seven years of abundance. And so the force of the dreams is understood to be the same.
27. Likewise, the seven thin and emaciated cows, which ascended after them, and the seven thin ears of grain, which were struck with the burning wind, are seven approaching years of famine.
28. These will be fulfilled in this order.
29. Behold, there will arrive seven years of great fertility throughout the entire land of Egypt.
30. After this, there will follow another seven years, of such great barrenness that all the former abundance will be delivered into oblivion. For the famine will consume all the land,
31. and the greatness of this destitution will cause the greatness of the abundance to be lost.
