And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be - seven years of famine.

And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, - and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.

Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.

and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.

Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.

And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, - I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.

Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;

And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.

Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told these things unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain them to me.
