1. And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
2. And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favored and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
3. And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
4. And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
5. And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
