Gênesis 41:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:3

And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the
river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed
Thin and haggard, their bones stuck out, having scarce any flesh upon them, and made a wretched figure: and stood by the [other] kine;
and looked so much the worse, when compared with them: upon the brink of the river;
it not being overflowed, so that there was no grass to be had, but just upon the bank, where these kept for that purpose; for the fruitfulness of Egypt was owing to the river Nile; as that overflowed or did not, there was plenty or famine; hence both these sorts of creatures came up out of that.

Gênesis 41:3 In-Context

1 Passados dois anos inteiros, Faraó sonhou que estava em pé junto ao rio Nilo;

2 e eis que subiam do rio sete vacas, formosas � vista e gordas de carne, e pastavam no carriçal.

3 Após elas subiam do rio outras sete vacas, feias � vista e magras de carne; e paravam junto �s outras vacas � beira do Nilo.

4 E as vacas feias � vista e magras de carne devoravam as sete formosas � vista e gordas. Então Faraó acordou.

5 Depois dormiu e tornou a sonhar; e eis que brotavam dum mesmo pé sete espigas cheias e boas.
