Genesis 41:3

41:3 Then seven bad-looking, thin cows were coming up after them from the Nile, ¹  and they stood beside the other cows at the edge of the river. ² 

Genesis 41:17

41:17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing ³  by the edge of the Nile.

[41:3]  ¹ tn Heb “And look, seven other cows were coming up after them from the Nile, bad of appearance and thin of flesh.”

[41:3]  ² tn Heb “the Nile.” This has been replaced by “the river” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[41:17]  ³ tn Heb “In my dream look, I was standing.” The use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) here (and also in vv. 18, 19, 22, 23) invites the hearer (within the context of the narrative, Joseph; but in the broader sense the reader or hearer of the Book of Genesis) to observe the scene through Pharaoh’s eyes.
