Génesis 41:8 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:8

And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was
troubled
With the thoughts of his dreams; they were uppermost in his mind; he was continually thinking of them; it was as if he had always the same images before him now awake, as well as when asleep, and therefore could not be easy without getting knowledge of the meaning of them: and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the
wise men thereof;
who pretended to have great skill in the things of nature, and in astrology and other sciences, by which they pretended to know future events, and to interpret dreams among other things; and show what they portended, and what things would happen for the accomplishment of them: and Pharaoh told them his dream;
both his dreams, which for the similarity of them, and there being so little interruption between them, are represented as one dream; for that both were told them appears by what follows: but [there was] none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh;
they were nonplussed and confounded, and did not know what to say; the things were so strange and surprising that he related, that they could not offer any conjectures about them, or, if they did, they were very unsatisfactory to Pharaoh.

Génesis 41:8 In-Context

6 Luego aparecieron otras siete espigas de grano, pero estaban resecas y marchitadas por el viento oriental.

7 ¡Entonces las espigas secas se tragaron a las siete robustas y bien formadas! El faraón volvió a despertarse y se dio cuenta de que era un sueño.

8 A la mañana siguiente, el faraón estaba muy perturbado por los sueños. Entonces llamó a todos los magos y a los sabios de Egipto. Cuando el faraón les contó sus sueños, ninguno de ellos pudo decirle lo que significaban.

9 Finalmente habló el jefe de los coperos del rey: «Hoy he recordado mi falla —le dijo al faraón—.

10 Hace un tiempo, usted se enojó con el jefe de los panaderos y conmigo, y nos encarceló en el palacio del capitán de la guardia.
