Continue With Pharaoh's Dreams

'In my second dream I saw seven heads full, ripe grain growing on one stalk.  Then I saw seven thing, dried-out-heads of grain. And the thin heads of grain began to swallow up the seven good heads of grain.'

Joseph says to Phar'aoh:  'The two dreams mean the same thing.  The seven fat cows and seven full heads  of grain mean seven  years, and the seven thin cows and the seven thin heads of grain mean seven more years.  There will be seven years when a lot of food will grow in Egypt. Then there will be seven more years when very little food will grow.'

So Joseph tells Phar'aoh: 'Choose a wise man and put him in charge of collecting food during the seven good years.  Then the people will not starve during the following seven bad  years when very little food will grow.
