Many years after he got his coat of many colors Joseph found himself in prison in Egypt. He
got out when he interpreted Pharoah's dream. In the dream the Pharoah saw seven fat cows, followed by 7 lean cows.
Joseph warned the Pharoah that there would be seven years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine. This cow joined us
