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

And behold, from the Nile seven cows came up, fine-looking and ^(F1)fat; and they grazed in the ^(C1)marsh grass.

Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and ^(F1)thin, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.

Then the ugly and ^(F1)thin cows ate the seven fine-looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.

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

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

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

Now in the morning ^(C1)his spirit was troubled, so he sent messengers and called for all the ^(C2)soothsayer priests of Egypt, and all its ^(C3)wise men. And Pharaoh told them his ^(F1)dreams, but ^(C4)there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
