1. And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
2. And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.
3. And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river.
4. And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.
5. And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good.
6. And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them.
7. And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream.
8. And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none to interpret them to Pharaoh.
9. Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.
10. Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.
11. And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.
