Genesis 41:31

Study

       

31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

5274. 'He has caused Pharaoh to see' means discernment by the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and discerning, dealt with in 2150, 2325, 2807, 3764, 4567, 4723; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the natural, dealt with previously.
