MEDITATION
Genesis 41:1-7
1 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.
2 Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
3 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.
6 Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
7 And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream.

沉思
《创世记 41：1-7》
1过了两年，法老做梦，梦见自己站在河边，
2有七只母牛从河里上来，又美好又肥壮，在芦荻中吃草。
3随后又有七只母牛从河里上来，又丑陋又干瘦，与那七只母牛一同站在河边。
4这又丑陋又干瘦的七只母牛吃尽了那又美好又肥壮的七只母牛。法老就醒了。
5他又睡着，第二回做梦，梦见一棵麦子长了七个穗子，又肥大又佳美。
6随后又长了七个穗子，又细弱又被东风吹焦了。7这细弱的穗子吞了那七个又肥大又饱满的穗子。法老醒了，不料是个梦。
