Génesis 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.

Génesis 41:47 In-Context

45 Y le cambi贸 el nombre a Jos茅, y lo llam贸 Zafenat Panea; adem谩s, le dio por esposa a Asenat, hija de Potifera, sacerdote de la ciudad de On. De este modo qued贸 Jos茅 a cargo de Egipto.
46 Ten铆a treinta a帽os cuando comenz贸 a trabajar al servicio del fara贸n, rey de Egipto.Tan pronto como se retir贸 Jos茅 de la presencia del fara贸n, se dedic贸 a recorrer todo el territorio de Egipto.
47 Durante los siete a帽os de abundancia la tierra produjo grandes cosechas,
48 as铆 que Jos茅 fue recogiendo todo el alimento que se produjo en Egipto durante esos siete a帽os, y lo almacen贸 en las ciudades.
49 Junt贸 alimento como quien junta arena del mar, y fue tanto lo que recogi贸 que dej贸 de contabilizarlo. 隆Ya no hab铆a forma de mantener el control!
