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.
