Genesis 41:1-8

1Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile.

2And lo, there came up out of the Nile seven [healthy] cows, sleek and handsome and fat; and they grazed in the reed grass [in a marshy pasture].

3Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, ugly and gaunt and raw-boned, and stood by the fat cows on the bank of the Nile.

4Then the ugly and gaunt and raw-boned cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.

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

6Then behold, seven ears [of grain], thin and dried up by the east wind, sprouted after them.

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

8So when morning came his spirit was troubled and disturbed and he sent and called for all the magicians and all the wise men of Egypt. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them to him.
