Which shows how sparingly the river overflowed the lands. <\/P> <\/p>\n
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed<\/strong>,…. Thin and haggard, their bones stuck out, having scarce any flesh upon them, and made a wretched figure:<\/p>\n and stood by the [other] kine<\/strong>; and looked so much the worse, when compared with them:<\/p>\n upon the brink of the river<\/strong>; it not being overflowed, so that there was no grass to be had, but just upon the bank, where these kept for that purpose; for the fruitfulness of Egypt was owing to the river Nile; as that overflowed or did not, there was plenty or famine; hence both these sorts of creatures came up out of that.<\/p>\n Gen 41:3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the [other] kine upon the brink of the river.<\/p>\n Ver. 3. Seven other kine came up out of the river.<\/strong> ] These, by their leanness, portended drought and dearth, though they came up out of Nile also. This river, when it overflows unto twelve cubits’ height only, causeth famine; when to thirteen scarcity; when to fourteen, cheerfulness; when to fifteen, affluence; when to sixteen, abundance, as Pliny tells us. The greatest increase ever known, was of eighteen cubits, under Claudius (we read of a general famine in his days, Act 11:28<\/span> , mentioned also by Suetonius and Josephus); a<\/em> the smallest of five cubits, in the history of the Pharsalian wars. Such a thing might happen now, to cause this sore famine. Or the river, for their sins, might be dried up, as God threatens them. Eze 29:3<\/span> ; <\/em> Eze 29:9 <\/em> Isa 19:5-6 And as it happened in the reign of Cleopatra, that prodigiously prodigal queen, the river overflowed not for two years together, saith Seneca: as at another time it overflowed not for nine years together, saith Callimachus; and after him Ovid. b<\/em> How easy is it for God to starve us all, by denying us a few harvests! In case of famine, let us inquire the supernatural cause; as David did, 2Sa 21:1 when he knew the natural cause to be the drought. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Suet., in Claudio.<\/em> Joseph., Antiq., <\/em> lib. xx. cap. 2.
