'Burned' in the Bible

After three months Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has turned to prostitution, and as a result she has become pregnant." Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"

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

Then seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent seven years of famine.
