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 Seven other heads of grain, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted behind them.

24 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but no one could tell me what it meant."

25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh had the same dream twice. God has told Pharaoh what he's going to do.

26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. It's all the same dream.

27 The seven thin, sickly cows that came up behind them are seven years. The seven empty heads of grain scorched by the east wind are also seven years. Seven years of famine are coming.
