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 And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,

5 but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.

6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.

7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

8 In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
