“And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.”
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me. The failure of the magicians is restated — Pharaoh himself testifies to the limits of Egypt's institutional wisdom. The application: the testimony of the one who needed interpretation and received none from the usual sources is the most compelling argument for the unusual source.
