5240. 'To each according to his dream he gave the interpretation' means from [a knowledge of] the truth; 'and it happened, that as he interpreted to us so it came about' means that so was the outcome. As regards the meaning 'so was the outcome', this may be seen from the fact that the words used here mean the outcome of the matter, which from [a knowledge of] the truth was exactly as he had foretold.
