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;
just in the same manner as he had to Joseph: but [there was] none that could declare [it] unto me;
the meaning of it; what all this should signify or portend.

Genesis 41:24 In-Context

22 "I had another dream. I saw seven full and good heads of grain growing on one stalk.

23 Then seven more heads of grain sprang up after them, but these heads were thin and ugly and were burned by the hot east wind.

24 Then the thin heads ate the seven good heads. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain its meaning to me."

25 Then Joseph said to the king, "Both of these dreams mean the same thing. God is telling you what he is about to do.

26 The seven good cows stand for seven years, and the seven good heads of grain stand for seven years. Both dreams mean the same thing.
