Genesis 41:1-7 ▼

1 Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.

2 And behold, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and fat; and they grazed in the reeds.

3 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and thin, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.

4 And the ugly and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.

5 He again fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.

6 And behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.

7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
