Genesis 41:31

31 et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura inopiae magnitudo

Genesis 41:31 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:31

And the plenty shall not be known in the land, by reason of
that famine following
That is, before it would be over; otherwise the former plenty was in some measure known by the stores of provisions laid up in the seven years of it, and which were brought forth when the famine became very pressing; but by that time, and before the seven years of it were ended, there were no traces of the foregoing plenty to be observed: for it [shall be] very grievous;
as it was both in Egypt and in all the countries round about.

Genesis 41:31 In-Context

29 ecce septem anni venient fertilitatis magnae in universa terra Aegypti

30 quos sequentur septem anni alii tantae sterilitatis ut oblivioni tradatur cuncta retro abundantia consumptura est enim fames omnem terram

31 et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura inopiae magnitudo

32 quod autem vidisti secundo ad eandem rem pertinens somnium firmitatis indicium est eo quod fiat sermo Dei et velocius impleatur

33 nunc ergo provideat rex virum sapientem et industrium et praeficiat eum terrae Aegypti
