Joseph Tells the Dreams’ Meaning

²⁵ Then Joseph said to ·the king [^LPharaoh], “Both of these dreams ·mean the same thing [^Lare one]. God is telling you what he is about to do. ²⁶ The seven ·good [healthy] cows stand for seven years, and the seven ·good [healthy] heads of grain stand for seven years. Both dreams mean the same thing. ²⁷ The seven thin and ugly cows stand for seven years, and the seven thin heads of grain ·burned [shriveled] by the hot east wind stand for seven years of ·hunger [famine].
