Genesis 41:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:24

And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears
(See Gill on Genesis 41:7); and I told [this] unto the magicians;

the meaning of it; what all this should signify or portend.

23 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.

24 And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”
