Genesis 41:2-18

2And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well favoured and fatfleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.

3And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

4And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

17And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:
