And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace without me.

And then .vij. other kine came up after them / poor and very evil favoured and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like in all the land of Egypt in evil favouredness. And the .vij. lean and evil favoured kine ate up the first .vij. fat kine And when they had eaten them up / a man could not perceive that they had eaten them: for they were still as evil favoured as they were at the beginning. And I awoke.
