1. When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,
2. when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3. After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank.
4. And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5. He fell asleep again and had a second dream: seven ears of corn, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk.
6. After them, seven other ears of corn sprouted – thin and scorched by the east wind.
