Commentary

And when they had eaten them up,.... Or "were come into their bowels" (k), into their inward parts, their bellies, being swallowed and devoured by them: it could not be known that they had eaten them: or were in their bellies, they seemed never the fuller nor the fatter for them: but they were still ill favoured as at the beginning; looked as thin and as meagre as they did when they first came out of the river, or were first seen by Pharaoh: so I awoke; surprised at what he had seen; this was his first dream.
