seven fine-looking, fat cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.

Then seven fat and fine-looking cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.

thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.

Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile, and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river.

So the men did as instructed. They took two cows that had calves and harnessed them to a cart; they also removed their calves to their stalls.

At that time men will throw their silver and gold idols, which they made for themselves to worship, into the caves where rodents and bats live,

Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria! You oppress the poor; you crush the needy. You say to your husbands, “Bring us more to drink!”

Then seven other cows came up after them; they were scrawny, very bad-looking, and lean. I had never seen such bad-looking cows as these in all the land of Egypt!

So now go and make a new cart. Get two cows that have calves and that have never had a yoke placed on them. Harness the cows to the cart and take their calves from them back to their stalls.
