41:26
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

Meaning

Genesis 41:26 explains the meaning of the dream that Joseph interpreted for Pharaoh. In this verse, Joseph clarifies that the seven healthy cows and the seven full heads of grain represent a period of abundance lasting seven years. This interpretation was crucial for Egypt's future, as it foretold seven years of prosperity that would be followed by seven years of famine. By understanding the significance of these symbols, Pharaoh was able to prepare the nation for the impending hardship by storing up food during the years of plenty. This verse serves as a reminder of the importance of foresight and wise planning, as well as the significance of being able to interpret dreams and signs given by God. It showcases Joseph's gift of prophecy and his ability to provide guidance during times of uncertainty.
