Genesis 41:1-6

MSG

NIV

1 Two years passed and Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile River.
1 When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,
2 Seven cows came up out of the Nile, all shimmering with health, and grazed on the marsh grass.
2 when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 Then seven other cows, all skin and bones, came up out of the river after them and stood by them on the bank of the Nile.
3 After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank.
4 The skinny cows ate the seven healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
4 And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 He went back to sleep and dreamed a second time: Seven ears of grain, full-bodied and lush, grew out of a single stalk.
5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk.
6 Then seven more ears grew up, but these were thin and dried out by the east wind.
6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind.
