1. After two whole years, Pharaoh had a dream that he was standing by the Nile.
2. Seven fine-looking and fattened cows suddenly came up out of the river, and they grazed in the meadow.
3. Then seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the riverbank.
4. The ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine-looking and fattened cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
5. He slept and dreamed a second time. Seven ears of grain suddenly came up on one stalk, plump and good.
6. Then seven thin ears, scorched by the east wind, sprang up after them.
