Genèse 41:21 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:21

And when they had eaten them up
Or "were come into their bowels" F11, into their inward parts, their bellies, being swallowed and devoured by them: it could not be known that they had eaten them:
or were in their bellies, they seemed never the fuller nor the fatter for them: but they [were] still ill favoured as at the beginning;
looked as thin and as meagre as they did when they first came out of the river, or were first seen by Pharaoh: so I awoke;
surprised at what he had seen; this was his first dream.

Genèse 41:21 In-Context

19 Et voici, sept autres vaches montaient après elles, chétives, et très laides, et décharnées; je n'en ai jamais vu de semblables en laideur dans tout le pays d'Égypte.
20 Et les vaches décharnées et laides dévorèrent les sept premières vaches grasses,
21 Qui entrèrent dans leur ventre sans qu'il parût qu'elles y fussent entrées, et elles étaient aussi laides qu'au commencement.
22 Alors je me réveillai. Je vis encore en songeant, et sept épis pleins et beaux poussaient sur une même tige.
23 Puis, voici, sept épis stériles, maigres et brûlés par le vent d'Orient, germaient après ceux-là.
