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 The thin and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows,

21 but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had done so, for they were still as ugly as before. Then I awoke.

22 I fell asleep a second time and I saw in my dream seven ears of grain, full and good, growing on one stalk,

23 and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouting after them;

24 and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. But when I told it to the magicians, there was no one who could explain it to me."
