When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,

When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream. In his dream, he was standing by the Nile River.

After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,

Two full years later, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing on the bank of the Nile River.

At the end of two years Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,

Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.

Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

At the end of two full years Pharaoh had a dream. As he was standing by the Nile,

At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.

While he was sitting on the judge’s bench, his wife sent word to him,“ Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for today I’ve suffered terribly in a dream because of Him!”

Laban said to him,“ Yes, you are my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,

The land of Egypt will be a desolate ruin. Then they will know that I am Yahweh. Because you said,‘ The Nile is my own; I made it,’

And if they don’t believe even these two signs or listen to what you say, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the Nile will become blood on the ground.”

The Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were confined in the prison, each had a dream. Both had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.

The waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be parched and dry.

For the land you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated by hand as in a vegetable garden.

That night sleep escaped the king, so he ordered the book recording daily events to be brought and read to the king.

Speak to him and say: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster lying in the middle of his Nile, who says,‘ My Nile is my own; I made it for myself.’

He fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.

Pharaoh then commanded all his people:“ You must throw every son born to the Hebrews into the Nile, but let every daughter live.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him,“ You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”

In a dream, a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber on their beds,He uncovers their ears at that time and terrifies them with warnings,

I had a dream, and it frightened me; while in my bed, the images and visions in my mind alarmed me.So I issued a decree to bring all the wise men of Babylon to me in order that they might make the dream’s interpretation known to me.When the diviner-priests, mediums, Chaldeans, and astrologers came in, I told them the dream, but they could not make its interpretation known to me.Finally Daniel, named Belteshazzar after the name of my god— and the spirit of the holy gods is in him— came before me. I told him the dream:“ Belteshazzar, head of the diviners, because I know that you have a spirit of the holy gods and that no mystery puzzles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I saw, and its interpretation.In the visions of my mind as I was lying in bed, I saw this: There was a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was great.The tree grew large and strong; its top reached to the sky, and it was visible to the ends of the earth.Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and on it was food for all. Wild animals found shelter under it, the birds of the air lived in its branches, and every creature was fed from it.“ As I was lying in my bed, I also saw in the visions of my mind an observer, a holy one, coming down from heaven.He called out loudly: Cut down the tree and chop off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.But leave the stump with its roots in the ground, and with a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with dew from the sky and share the plants of the earth with the animals.Let his mind be changed from that of a man, and let him be given the mind of an animal for seven periods of time.This word is by decree of the observers; the matter is a command from the holy ones. This is so the living will know that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men. He gives it to anyone He wants and sets the lowliest of men over it.This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the wise men of my kingdom can make the interpretation known to me. But you can, because you have the spirit of the holy gods.”

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream with visions in his mind as he was lying in his bed. He wrote down the dream, and here is the summary of his account.Daniel said,“ In my vision at night I was watching, and suddenly the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea.Four huge beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.“ The first was like a lion but had eagle’s wings. I continued watching until its wings were torn off. It was lifted up from the ground, set on its feet like a man, and given a human mind.“ Suddenly, another beast appeared, a second one, that looked like a bear. It was raised up on one side, with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told,‘ Get up! Gorge yourself on flesh.’“ While I was watching, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard with four wings of a bird on its back. It had four heads and was given authority to rule.“ While I was watching in the night visions, a fourth beast appeared, frightening and dreadful, and incredibly strong, with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and it trampled with its feet whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had 10 horns.“ While I was considering the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. There were eyes in this horn like a man’s, and it had a mouth that spoke arrogantly.

In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled him, and sleep deserted him.So the king gave orders to summon the diviner-priests, mediums, sorcerers, and Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. When they came and stood before the king,he said to them,“ I have had a dream and am anxious to understand it.”

Then Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.He said to them,“ Listen to this dream I had:There we were, binding sheaves of grain in the field. Suddenly my sheaf stood up, and your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”“ Are you really going to reign over us?” his brothers asked him.“ Are you really going to rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and what he had said.Then he had another dream and told it to his brothers.“ Look,” he said,“ I had another dream, and this time the sun, moon, and 11 stars were bowing down to me.”He told his father and brothers, but his father rebuked him.“ What kind of dream is this that you have had?” he said.“ Are your mother and brothers and I going to come and bow down to the ground before you?”

When Gideon arrived, there was a man telling his friend about a dream. He said,“ Listen, I had a dream: a loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp, struck a tent, and it fell. The loaf turned the tent upside down so that it collapsed.”His friend answered:“ This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has handed the entire Midianite camp over to him.”
