Genesis 41:3

WEB

Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

KJV

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.

Commentary

And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed,.... Thin and haggard, the ir bones stuck out, having scarce any flesh upon them, and made a wretched figure: and stood by the other kine; and looked so much the worse, when compared with them: upon the brink of the river; 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.
