“And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.”
When out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds. The seven fat cows rising from the Nile is the image of the seven years of abundance — Egypt's fruitfulness at its peak. The application: the dream images drawn from the Nile's agricultural context are the dream images appropriate to the setting. God speaks in the language of the place where the dream is received.
