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 And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew up upon one stalk, full and very fair.
23 Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stalk:
24 And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
25 Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
26 The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
