Two years later Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,

when seven healthy-looking, well-fed cows came up from the Nile and began to graze among the reeds.

After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside those cows along the bank of the Nile.

So Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,

when seven well-fed, healthy-looking cows came up from the Nile and began to graze among the reeds.

And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very {ugly and gaunt}--never have I seen [any] as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
