Pliny has given a scale, by which the plenty or dearth may be 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. grievous Heb. heavy, 1Sam 5:6; Isa 24:20 doubled Gen 37:7, Gen 37:9; Job 33:14-15; 2Cor 13:1 it is because Num 23:19; Isa 14:24-27, Isa 46:10-11; Matt 24:35 established by or, prepared of, Isa 30:33; Matt 25:34, Matt 25:41; Mark 10:40; 1Cor 2:9; Rev 9:15
