Genesis 41:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:22

And I saw in my dream
Falling asleep again quickly, he dreamed a second time; and this dream being of a like kind with the former, and so small a space between them, they are represented as one, and this is the continuation of it: and, behold, seven ears (See Gill on Genesis 41:5).

Genesis 41:22 In-Context

20 Then the thin, frail cows devoured the first seven, fattened cows.

21 But after they swallowed them whole, no one would have known it. They looked just as bad as they had before. Then I woke up.

22 I went to sleep again and saw in my dream seven full and healthy ears of grain growing on one stalk.

23 Just then, seven hard and thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, sprouted after them,

24 and the thin ears swallowed up the healthy ears. I told the religious experts, but they couldn't explain it to me."
