Or was repeated to him under different figures and images:[it is] because the thing [is] established by God; by a firm decree of his, and is sure, and will most certainly be accomplished; of which Pharaoh might be assured, and to assure him of it was the repetition of the dream made:and God will shortly bring it to pass: or "make haste to do it" , that is, would soon begin to accomplish these events; for, as Bishop Usher observes, from the harvest of this (the then present) year, the seven years of plenty are reckoned.
