And behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, bad looking and thin of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.

And the bad looking and thin-fleshed cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.

And behold, seven thin heads, scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.

And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. And Pharaoh awoke, and lo, it was a dream.

And the seven thin and bad cows which came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of famine.

And I will nourish you there, so that you and your house, and all that you have, not come to poverty; for there are yet five years of famine.

Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

Now a famine and great distress came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no food.

And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down to that place and buy for us from there, that we may live and not die.

And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

And Joseph was lord over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him, their faces to the earth.

Now the famine was severe in the land.

And I will nourish you there, so that you and your house, and all that you have, not come to poverty; for there are yet five years of famine.

And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.
