Verse 18<\/span>. Seven kine, fat-fleshed<\/B><\/I>] See Clarke on <\/span>Ge 41:2<\/span><\/span>. And observe farther, that the seven fat and the seven lean kine coming out of the same river plainly show, at once, the cause<\/I> both of the plenty<\/I> and the dearth<\/I>. It is well known that there is scarcely any rain<\/I> in Egypt; and that the country depends for its fertility on the overflowing of the Nile; and that the fertility is in proportion to the duration<\/I> and quantity<\/I> of the overflow. We may therefore safely conclude that the seven years of plenty were owing to an extraordinary overflowing<\/I> of the Nile; and that the seven years of dearth were occasioned by a very partial, or total want of this essentially necessary inundation. Thus then the two<\/I> sorts of cattle<\/I>, signifying years of plenty<\/I> and want<\/I>, might be said to come out of the<\/I> same river<\/I>, as the inundation was either complete, partial, or wholly restrained.

But then, to confound the AEgyptian oneirocritics <\/em>or interpreters of dreams, these dreams were so circumstanced with matters foreign to the principles of their art, that there was need of a truly divine interpreter.Pharaoh had two dreams, one of seven kine, the other of seven ears of corn. Both these phantasms were symbols <\/em>of AEgypt; the ears <\/em>denoting its distinguished fertility<\/em>, the kine <\/em>its great tutelary patroness Isis. <\/em>Pharaoh knew thus much without an interpreter; and hence arose his solicitude and anxiety to understand the rest, as a matter that concerned the public; accordingly, when Joseph came to decypher these dreams, he does not tell the king that the two sevens <\/em>denoted seven years in AEgypt, <\/em>but simply seven years.”<\/em> <\/p>\n The repetition of a thing serves to confirm it. How sweetly do we find it to be so, respecting eternal things.
