"Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk. "
— Genesis 41:23, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:”
“and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: ”
“and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.”
“Then seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.”
“Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stalk:”
“And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:”
“And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:”
These devoured and consumed the first,
giving no indication of being full. But they remained in the same state of emaciation and squalor. Awakening, but being weighed down into sleep again,
I saw a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it.”
Joseph responded: “The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
The seven beautiful cows, and the seven full ears of grain, are seven years of abundance. And so the force of the dreams is understood to be the same.
