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 ugly and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. And Pharaoh awoke.

5 Then he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.

6 Then seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them.

7 The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and it was a dream.

8 In the morning his spirit was troubled; so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
