Genesis 41:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:6

And, behold, seven thin ears, and blasted with the east wind,
&c.] Which is very fatal to corn, to dry, burn, smite, or blast it; and especially to the corn in Egypt, whither it blew from the desert of Arabia: these sprung up after them;
after the seven full ears, in the same place the other did, or near unto them.

Genesis 41:6 In-Context

4 The ill-favored and lean-fleshed cattle ate up the seven well-favored and fat cattle. So Par`oh awoke.

5 He slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up on one stalk, rank and good.

6 Behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

7 The thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. Par`oh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

8 It happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitzrayim, and all the wise men of it. Par`oh told them his dream, but there was no one who could interpret them to Par`oh.
