New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.
1
When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,
2 And lo, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and fat; and they grazed in 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 behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt , and they stood by the other cows 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 ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
4
And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.
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 behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
6
After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind.
7 The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
7
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up; it had been a dream.
