“It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon.

It is as I told Pharaoh; God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

And the doubling of Pharaoh’s dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about.

“This will happen just as I have described it, for God has revealed to Pharaoh in advance what he is about to do.

As for having two similar dreams, it means that these events have been decreed by God, and he will soon make them happen.

“It is just as I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

Since the dream was given twice to Pharaoh, it means that the matter has been determined by God, and he will carry it out soon.

This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

“The meaning is what I said earlier: God is letting Pharaoh in on what he is going to do. Seven years of plenty are on their way throughout Egypt. But on their heels will come seven years of famine, leaving no trace of the Egyptian plenty. As the country is emptied by famine, there won’t be even a scrap left of the previous plenty—the famine will be total. The fact that Pharaoh dreamed the same dream twice emphasizes God’s determination to do this and do it soon.
