- * a meadow.
- Or, rather, "on, or among the reeds or sedges;" for so
- {achoo} is generally supposed to denote (see Job 8:11); so
- called, according to Mr. Parkhurst, from its fitness for
- making ropes, or the like, to connect or join things
- together, from {achah,} to join, connect: thus the Latin
- {juncus,} a bulrush, {a jungendo,} from joining, for the same
- reason. He supposes it to be that sort of reed growing near
- the Nile which Hasselquist describes as "having scarce any
- branches, but numerous leaves, which are narrow, smooth,
- channelled on the upper surface, and the plant about eleven
- feet high. The Egyptians make ropes of the leaves."

- A species of wheat, which grows in Egypt, bears, when
- perfect, seven ears on one stalk, as its natural
- conformation. It differs from ours in having a solid stem,
- or at least a stem full of pith, in order to yield sufficient
- nourishment and support to so great a weight as the ears
- which it bears.

- The word here used (chartummim) may mean no more than
- interpreters of abstruse or difficult subjects; especially of
- dreams and visions, which formed a considerable part of the
- ancient pagan religion; and the Egyptian priests were the
- first who professed this art. The word may be of affinity
- with, or derived from, the Persian {chiradmand,} wise,
- learned, judicious, intelligent, from {chirad,}
- understanding, judgment, and {mand,} endowed with. They seem
- to have been such persons as Josephus calls sacred scribes;
- or professors of sacred learning.

- All the mischief done to corn or fruit by blasting, smutting,
- mildew, etc. are attributed to the east wind. (See Parallel
- Passages.) In Egypt it is peculiarly destructive, because it
- comes through the parched deserts of Arabia, often destroying
- vast numbers of people. The destructive nature of the {Sam,
- Simoom, Smoom,} or {Samiel,} is mentioned by almost all
- travellers. When this pestilential wind advances, its
- approach is indicated by a redness in the air. The principal
- stream of the blast always moves in a line of about 20 yards
- in breadth, and 12 feet above the surface of the earth; but
- its parching influence pervades all places to a considerable
- distance. The only means of preservation from its noxious
- influence is to lie flat, with the face upon the ground, till
- the blast be over. Camels and other animals instinctively
- perceive its approach, and bury their mouths and nostrils in
- the ground. It rarely last more than seven or eight minutes,
- but so poisonous are its effects, that it instantly
- suffocates those who are unfortunate enough to inhale it.

- # 47:13 Ps 105:16
- 09184
- * the plenty.
- It is well known, that in Egypt there is scarcely any rain,
- the country depending for its fertility upon the overflowing
- of the Nile; and that the fertility is in proportion to the
- duration and quality of the overflow, in order to saturate
- the land and prepare for the seed. Pliny has given a scale,
- by which the plenty or dearth may ascertained; which may be
- considered as perfectly correct. The ordinary height of the
- inundations is 16 cubits. When the waters are lower than
- this standard, they do not overflow the whole ground; when
- above this standard they are too long in running off. In the
- first case, the ground is not saturated; by the second, the
- waters are detained so long on the ground that seed-time is
- lost. The province marks both. If it rise only 12 cubits, a
- famine is the consequence; at 13 hunger prevails; 14 produces
- general rejoicing; 15 perfect security; and 16 all the
- luxuries of life.

- Which in Coptic signifies a revealer of secrets, or, the man
- to whom secrets are revealed. Jerome says this name
- signified in Egyptian, {Savatorem mundi,} "the Saviour of the
- world;" and {Psotem-phaneh,} in Coptic, is certainly
- "salvation of the world," from [SOT,] for
- [soteria <\\See definition 4991\\>,] salvation, {em,} the sign
- of the genitive case, and [PHENEH], world. If this
- interpretation be correct, Pharaoh must have meant Egypt by
- the world, or which Joseph might be justly termed the Saviour.
- We know that the Romans called their empire {Universis
- Orbis-Orbis Terrarum,} "all the world:" the Chinese say the
- same of their empire at the present day, and the phrase is
- used in the East: Nadir Shah is described on his coins as
- "Conqueror of the World," i.e., Persia. See the same
- phraseology applied to Syria, Palestine, etc.
