Genesis 41:20 In-Context

18 and behold, seven cows, {well built and fat}, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.

19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very {ugly and gaunt}--never have I seen [any] as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

20 And the thin and ugly cows ate the former seven healthy cows.

21 But [when] they went into their bellies it could not be known that they went into their bellies, for their appearance [was] as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.

22 Then I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears of grain were coming out of one stalk, full and good.
