Genesis 41:7 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:7

And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears,
&c.] So it appeared to Pharaoh in his dream, which must be very amazing to behold, and unaccountable how it should be: and Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream;
not a real fact, but a dream; yet not a common dream, but had some important signification in it; it not vanishing from his mind, but abode upon it, which made him conclude there was something more than common in it, and made him very desirous to have the interpretation of it.

Genesis 41:7 In-Context

6 And that .vij. thynne eares blasted with the wynde spronge vp after them:

7 and that the .vij. thynne eares deuowrerd the .vij. rancke and full eares. And than Pharao awaked: and se here is his dreame.

8 When the mornynge came his sprete was troubled And he sent and casted for all the soythsayers of Egypte and all the wyse men there of and told them his dreame: but there was none of them that coude interpretate it vnto Pharao.

9 Than spake the chefe buttelar vnto Pharao saynge. I do remembre my fawte this daye.
