Genesis 41:5 (King James Version)
And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
- seven ears
- A species of wheat, which grows in Egypt, bears, when perfect, seven ears on one stalk, as its natural conformation. It differs from ours in having a solid stem, or at least a stem full of pith, in order to yield sufficient nourishment and support to so great a weight as the ears which it bears.
- rank
- Hebrew fat.
- Deuteronomy 32:14
