Genesis 41:29-35 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

29. Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.

30. Then seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will consume the land.

31. Abundance in the land will not be known because of the famine that follows, for it will be very heavy.

32. Now concerning the repetition of the dream twice to Pharaoh, it is because the matter is established by God, and God will do it quickly.

33. Now then, let Pharaoh select a man who is discerning and wise, and let him set him over the land of Egypt.

34. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint supervisors over the land, and let him take one-fifth from the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.

35. Then let them gather all the food of these coming good years and let them pile up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
