And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the sirocco, sprung up after them ; and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told this unto the magicians, but there was none that could declare it to me. But thou, fair Hebrew, what sayest thou ? oh, what sayest thou ? JOSEPH (after a pause, during which he has stood quite still, with eyes slightly raised, very slowly). The dream of Pharaoh is one. God hath showed Pharaoh what He is about to do. The seven good kine are seve...n years ; and the seven good ears are seven years : the dream is one. And the seven thin and ill-favoured kine that came up after them are seven years ; and the seven empty ears blasted with the hot wind shall be seven years of famine. This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh : what God is about to do He showeth BEHOLD, I STOOD UPON THE BANK OF A RIVER" 44 JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS unto Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, and there shall arise after them seven years of famine ; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt ; and the famine shall consume the land ; and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following ; for it shall be very grievous.
