Genesis 41:30-31

Context
41:30 But seven years of famine will occur 1  after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate 2  the land. 41:31 The previous abundance of the land will not be remembered 3  because of the famine that follows, for the famine will be very severe. 4 

1 tn The perfect with the vav consecutive continues the time frame of the preceding participle, which has an imminent future nuance here.

2 tn The Hebrew verb כָּלָה (kalah) in the Piel stem means “to finish, to destroy, to bring an end to.” The severity of the famine will ruin the land of Egypt.

3 tn Heb “known.”

4 tn Or “heavy.”
