Genesis 41:20 In-Context

18 In front of me, seven fattened, stout cows climbed up out of the Nile and grazed on the reeds.

19 Just then, seven other cows, weak and frail and thin, climbed up after them. I've never seen such awful cows in all the land of Egypt.

20 Then the thin, frail cows devoured the first seven, fattened cows.

21 But after they swallowed them whole, no one would have known it. They looked just as bad as they had before. Then I woke up.

22 I went to sleep again and saw in my dream seven full and healthy ears of grain growing on one stalk.
