And the seven years of plenteousness that was in the land of Egypt were ended.] Perhaps quickly after the birth of Ephraim, Joseph’s second son; since the account follows upon that, and it is certain that he was born before the years of famine began, (<014150>Genesis 41:50); some connect the words, “moreover when” the seven years of plenty were ended, then began, as follows, seven years of famine; these events were fulfilled just as Joseph had predicted.
