1. And it happened that after two full years Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.
2. And behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
3. And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood beside those cows on the bank of the Nile.
4. And the ugly and gaunt cows ate the seven well built and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
5. And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time, and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were coming out of one stalk.
6. And behold, seven thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7. And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven plump and full ears of grain. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
