5261. Verses 25-27. And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God doeth He hath shown to Pharaoh. The seven good kine are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one. And the seven thin and evil kine that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears parched with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. “And Joseph said unto Pharaoh,” signifies the perception of the natural from the celestial of the spiritual; “the dream of Pharaoh is one,” signifies the like in both, foreseen; “what God doeth He hath shown to Pharaoh,” signifies what was provided, that it was given the natural to perceive; “the seven good kine are seven years,” signifies states of the multiplication of truth in the interior natural; “and the seven good ears are seven years,” signifies states of the multiplication of truth in the exterior natural; “the dream is one,” signifies that there will be both by conjunction; “and the seven thin and evil kine that came up after them are seven years,” signifies states of the multiplication of falsity that infests the interior natural; “and the seven empty ears parched with the east wind,” signifies states of the multiplication of falsity that infests the exterior natural; “shall be seven years of famine,” signifies hence a lack and seeming privation of truth.
