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 The skinny cows ate the seven healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.

5 He went back to sleep and dreamed a second time: Seven ears of grain, full-bodied and lush, grew out of a single stalk.

6 Then seven more ears grew up, but these were thin and dried out by the east wind.

7 The thin ears swallowed up the full, healthy ears. Then Pharaoh woke up - another dream.

8 When morning came, he was upset. He sent for all the magicians and sages of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but they couldn't interpret them to him.
