there came:
"And Pharaohª saidª ° unto¹ Joseph,ª In my dream,ª behold,¹ I stoodª ° upon¹ the bankª of the river:ª ... And the sevenª thinª and ill favouredª kineª that came upª ° after¹ them² [are] sevenª years;ª and the sevenª emptyª earsª blastedª ° with the east windª shall be¹ sevenª yearsª of famine.ª" {Gen 41:17-27}

a meadow:
Or, rather, "on, or among the reeds or sedges;" for so achoo is generally supposed to denote (see note on "Can the rushª grow upª ° without¹ mire?ª can² ° the flagª growª ° withoutª water?ª" {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."
