Kejadian 41:6

41:6 Then ¹  seven heads of grain, thin and burned by the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

Yeremia 18:17

18:17 I will scatter them before their enemies

like dust blowing in front of a burning east wind.

I will turn my back on them and not look favorably on them ² 

when disaster strikes them.”

[41:6]  ¹ tn Heb “And look.”

[18:17]  ² tc Heb “I will show them [my] back and not [my] face.” This reading follows the suggestion of some of the versions and some of the Masoretes. The MT reads “I will look on their back and not on their faces.”

[18:17]  sn To “turn the back” is universally recognized as a symbol of rejection. The turning of the face toward one is the subject of the beautiful Aaronic blessing in Num 6:24-26.
