Genesis 41:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:25

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, the dream of Pharaoh [is] one,
&c.] Though there were two distinct dreams expressed under different images and representations, yet the meaning, sense, and signification of them were the same; one interpretation would do for both: God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do;
that is, by the above dreams, when they should be interpreted to him; for as yet he understood them not, and therefore there could be nothing showed him, but when interpreted it would be clear and plain to him what events were quickly to be accomplished: God only knows things future, and those to whom he is pleased to reveal them, and which he did in different ways, by dreams, visions, articulate voices

Genesis 41:25 In-Context

23 and, behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

24 And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads; and I told this unto the magicians, but there was no one that could declare it to me.

25 Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God has showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

26 The seven beautiful cows are seven years; and the seven good heads are seven years; the dream is one and the same.

27 Also the seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty heads blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
