"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.
