New International Version NIV
1 Two years later Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
1
When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,
2 when seven healthy-looking, well-fed cows came up from the Nile and began to graze among the reeds.
2
when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside those cows along 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 sickly, thin cows ate the healthy, well-fed 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 fell asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, full and good, came up on one 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 After them, seven heads of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up.
6
After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind.
