Genesis 41:21

21 nullum saturitatis dedere vestigium sed simili macie et squalore torpebant evigilans rursum sopore depressus

Genesis 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.
