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 seven skinny, ugly cows ate up the first seven healthy cows.
21 But you couldn't tell by looking - after eating them up they were just as skinny and ugly as before. Then I woke up.
22 "In my second dream I saw seven ears of grain, full-bodied and lush, growing out of a single stalk,
23 and right behind them, seven other ears, shriveled, thin, and dried out by the east wind.
24 And the thin ears swallowed up the full ears. I've told all this to the magicians but they can't figure it out."
