1 Now at the end of two whole years, Pharaoh was dreaming. Behold, there he was standing by the Nile.
2 Then behold, there were seven cows, good-looking and beefy, and they grazed in the reeds.
3 Then behold, there were seven other cows coming up after them from the Nile, ugly and emaciated, and they stood beside the cows at the edge of the Nile.
4 Then the ugly emaciated cows ate the seven good-looking beefy cows—and Pharaoh woke up.
5 Then he slept and dreamed a second time: behold, there were seven ears of corn coming up on one stalk, plump and good.
6 Then behold, there were seven ears of corn, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouting up after them.
7 Then the seven thin ears of corn swallowed up the seven plump and full ears of corn. Then Pharaoh woke up—it was a dream.
