"Then will come after that (period) seven dreadful (years), which will devour what ye shall have laid by in advance for them,- (all) except a little which ye shall have (specially) guarded.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ولهذا قال : ( يأكلن ما قدمتم لهن إلا قليلا مما تحصنون )

ثم بشرهم بعد الجدب في العام المتوالي بأنه يعقبهم بعد ذلك ( عام فيه يغاث الناس ) أي : يأتيهم الغيث ، وهو المطر ، وتغل البلاد ، ويعصر الناس ما كانوا يعصرون على عادتهم ، من زيت ونحوه ، وسكر ونحوه حتى قال بعضهم : يدخل فيه حلب اللبن أيضا .

قال علي بن أبي طلحة ، عن ابن عباس ( وفيه يعصرون ) يحلبون .
