The seven good kine [are] seven years, etc.] Signify seven years, and these years of plenty, as appears from the antithesis in (<014126>Genesis 41:26): and the seven good ears [are] seven years; signify the same: the dream [is] one; for though the seven good kine were seen in one dream, the seven good ears in another, yet both dreams were one as to signification.
