12:43-49 - The Seven Fat Cows

[12:43-49] The king said, "I saw seven fat cows being devoured by seven skinny cows, and seven green spikes and others that were dry. O my advisers, advise me regarding my dream, if you are able to interpret the dreams." They said, "Nonsensical dreams. We are not knowledgeable in the interpretation of dreams." The one who was freed said, now that he finally remembered, "I can tell you its interpretation, so send me (to Joseph)." "Joseph my friend, inform us about seven fat cows being devoured by seven skinny ones, and seven green spikes and others that were dry. I wish to go back with some information for the people." He said, "What you cultivate during the next seven years, when you harvest, leave the grains in their spikes, except for what you eat. Then, after that, will come seven years of drought, which will consume most of what you stored. After that, a year will come that brings relief for the people, and they will, once again, press juice."
