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

5 rursum dormivit et vidit alterum somnium septem spicae pullulabant in culmo uno plenae atque formonsae

6 aliae quoque totidem spicae tenues et percussae uredine oriebantur

7 devorantes omnem priorum pulchritudinem evigilans post quietem

8 et facto mane pavore perterritus misit ad coniectores Aegypti cunctosque sapientes et accersitis narravit somnium nec erat qui interpretaretur

9 tunc demum reminiscens pincernarum magister ait confiteor peccatum meum
