Genesis 41:1-7 ▼

1 At the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. As he was standing by the Nile,

2 seven fine-looking, fat cows were coming up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the reeds.

3 Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile, and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river.

4 The bad-looking, thin cows ate the seven fine-looking, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.

5 Then he fell asleep again and had a second dream: There were seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, healthy and good.

6 Then seven heads of grain, thin and burned by the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

7 The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream.
