41:25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Both dreams of Pharaoh have the same meaning. 1 God has revealed 2 to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 3 41:26 The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. Both dreams have the same meaning. 4 41:27 The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent 5 seven years of famine. 41:28 This is just what I told 6 Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
