1
Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.
2
Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
3
Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
4
And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
5
He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.
6
Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
7
And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream.
