Bible Question:
(I messed up and put this question under "note", so I'm trying again.) Pharaoh dreamt dreams of seven fat and seven skinny cows, plus seven good heads and seven worthless heads of grains. When Joseph was asked what the dreams mean he answered, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same.” The fat cows and the good wheat both meant seven years of plenty. The skinny cows and worthless heads of grain both meant seven years of famine. Why did he have “double” dreams IF they were one and the same? Wouldn’t seven fat cows being eaten by seven skinny cows offered the same warning? Is there something I am missing here? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Tommys! Scripture doesn't ever say why Pharoah had two dreams, but if I were to offer a guess I would say that he had two to simply highten his concern about the dreams. One bad dream might not concern someone, while several might. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
