Genesis 41:1-8 ▼

1 And it comes to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and behold, he is standing by the River,

2 and behold, from the River coming up are seven cows, of beautiful appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds;

3 and behold, seven other cows are coming up after them out of the River, of bad appearance, and lean [in] flesh, and they stand near the cows on the edge of the River,

4 and the cows of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up the seven cows of beautiful appearance, and fat—and Pharaoh awakens.

5 And he sleeps, and dreams a second time, and behold, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,

6 and behold, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;

7 and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears—and Pharaoh awakens, and behold, a dream.

8 And it comes to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sends and calls all the enchanters of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounts to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.
