"Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. Not only a sufficiency but an abundance, even to luxury, as when the Nile rose to
sixteen cubits, as Pliny observes (m); which, though a natural cause, was owing to God, and that it should thus overflow for seven years successively, and cause such a continued plenty, can be ascribed to no other. (m) Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 9.
