Genesis 41:29 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:29

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all
the land of Egypt.
] Not only a sufficiency but an abundance, even to luxury, as when the Nile rose to sixteen cubits, as Pliny observes ^F13; which, though a natural cause, was owing to God, and that it should thus overflow for seven years successively, and cause such a continued plenty, can be ascribed to no other.

Genesis 41:29 In-Context

27 The seven thin and frail cows, climbing up after them, are seven years. The seven thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, are seven years of famine.

28 It's just as I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

29 Seven years of great abundance are now coming throughout the entire land of Egypt.

30 After them, seven years of famine will appear, and all of the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will devastate the land.

31 No one will remember the abundance in the land because the famine that follows will be so very severe.
