"Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us the matter regarding seven fat cows being eaten by seven thin ones, and seven green pods and others which are dry? Then perhaps I may go back to the people so they will know."

He said: "You will plant regularly for seven years, and whatever you harvest you must leave it in its pods, except for the little that you will eat."

"Then there will come seven after that which are severe and which will consume all that you plant except for what you have stored."

"Then after that will come a year in which the people will have abundant rain and which they will be able to produce once again."

Andthe king said: "Bring him to me." So when the messenger came to him, he said: "Go back to your lord and ask him what was the matter regarding the women who cut their hands? Indeed, my Lord is aware of their plans."
