Genesis 41:7

The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream. ¹ 

The thin ears of corn swallowed up the seven healthy, full ears. Then Pharaoh woke up; it had been a dream.

The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

And these thin heads swallowed up the seven plump, well–formed heads! Then Pharaoh woke up again and realized it was a dream.

The thin ears swallowed up the full, healthy ears. Then Pharaoh woke up--another dream.

And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.

The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and it was a dream.

And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream.

The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it was a dream. ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “And look, a dream.”

sn Pharaoh’s two dreams, as explained in the following verses, pertained to the economy of Egypt. Because of the Nile River, the land of Egypt weathered all kinds of famines – there was usually grain in Egypt, and if there was grain and water the livestock would flourish. These two dreams, however, indicated that poverty would overtake plenty and that the blessing of the herd and the field would cease.
