Genesi 41:47 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:47

And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
handfuls.
] Such as the gatherers take up in their hands when reaped, in order to bind up in sheaves: now such was the fruitfulness of the land during the seven years of plenty, that either one stalk produced as many ears as a man could hold in his hand; or one grain produced an handful, as Ben Melech observes; though Onkelos paraphrases the words,

``the inhabitants of the earth in the seven years of plenty gathered even into their treasuries:''
and this they did by the order and direction of Joseph as he passed through the land; what he bought of them they brought, and put into the granaries, as he directed them.

45 E Faraone pose nome a Giuseppe Safenatpaanea; e gli diede per moglie Asenat, figliuola di Potifera, Governatore di On. E Giuseppe andò attorno per lo paese di Egitto.
46 Or Giuseppe era d’età di trent’anni, quando egli si presentò davanti a Faraone, re di Egitto. Giuseppe adunque si partì dal cospetto di Faraone, e passò per tutto il paese di Egitto.
47 E la terra produsse a menate, ne’ sette anni dell’abbondanza.
48 E Giuseppe adunò tutta la vittuaglia di quei sette anni, che furono nel paese di Egitto, e la ripose nelle città; egli ripose in ciascuna tutta la vittuaglia del contado circonvicino.
49 Giuseppe adunque ammassò grano in grandissima quantità, come la rena del mare; tanto che si rimase di annoverarlo; perciocchè era innumerabile.
