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 thin cows ate up the fat cows. Then the king woke up.
5 He fell asleep again and had another dream. Seven heads of grain, full and ripe, were growing on one stalk.
6 Then seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the desert wind,
7 and the thin heads of grain swallowed the full ones. The king woke up and realized that he had been dreaming.
8 In the morning he was worried, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. He told them his dreams, but no one could explain them to him.
