Context of Genesis 41:19
17And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: 18And, behold, there came out of the river seven cows, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: And, behold, seven other cows came out after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: 20And the lean and the ill favoured cows ate up the first seven fat cows: 21And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
