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 seven thin and ugly cows ate the seven beautiful fat cows. Then the king woke up.

5 The king slept again and dreamed a second time. In his dream he saw seven full and good heads of grain growing on one stalk.

6 After that, seven more heads of grain sprang up, but they were thin and burned by the hot east wind.

7 The thin heads of grain ate the seven full and good heads. Then the king woke up again, and he realized it was only a dream.

8 The next morning the king was troubled about these dreams, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. The king told them his dreams, but no one could explain their meaning to him.
