Genesis 41:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:25

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, the dream of Pharaoh [is] one,
&c.] Though there were two distinct dreams expressed under different images and representations, yet the meaning, sense, and signification of them were the same; one interpretation would do for both: God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do;
that is, by the above dreams, when they should be interpreted to him; for as yet he understood them not, and therefore there could be nothing showed him, but when interpreted it would be clear and plain to him what events were quickly to be accomplished: God only knows things future, and those to whom he is pleased to reveal them, and which he did in different ways, by dreams, visions, articulate voices

Genesis 41:25 In-Context

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."
25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh has actually had one dream. God has announced to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven healthy cows are seven years, and the seven healthy ears of grain are seven years. It's actually one dream.
27 The seven thin and frail cows, climbing up after them, are seven years. The seven thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, are seven years of famine.
