1. Two years later Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile River.
2. In the dream, seven cows came out of the river and stood there eating grass. They were healthy, good-looking cows.
3. Then seven more cows came out of the river and stood on the bank of the river by the healthy cows. But these cows were thin and looked sick.
4. The seven sick cows ate the seven healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5. Pharaoh went back to sleep and began dreaming again. This time he dreamed that he saw seven heads of grain growing on one plant. They were healthy and full of grain.
