Génesis 41:32 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:32

And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice
Or was repeated to him under different figures and images: [it is] because the thing [is] established by God;
by a firm decree of his, and is sure, and will most certainly be accomplished; of which Pharaoh might be assured, and to assure him of it was the repetition of the dream made: and God will shortly bring it to pass:
or "make haste to do it" F15, that is, would soon begin to accomplish these events; for, as Bishop Usher F16 observes, from the harvest of this (the then present) year, the seven years of plenty are reckoned.

32 Y el suceder el sueño á Faraón dos veces, significa que la cosa es firme de parte de Dios, y que Dios se apresura á hacerla.
33 Por tanto, provéase ahora Faraón de un varón prudente y sabio, y póngalo sobre la tierra de Egipto.
34 Haga esto Faraón, y ponga gobernadores sobre el país, y quinte la tierra de Egipto en los siete años de la hartura;
