1 Two full years later, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing on the bank of the Nile River.
2 In his dream he saw seven fat, healthy cows come up out of the river and begin grazing in the marsh grass.
3 Then he saw seven more cows come up behind them from the Nile, but these were scrawny and thin. These cows stood beside the fat cows on the riverbank.
4 Then the scrawny, thin cows ate the seven healthy, fat cows! At this point in the dream, Pharaoh woke up.
