29. Seven years of great abundance are now coming throughout the land of Egypt;
30. but seven years of famine will rise up after them, when all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. When the famine has exhausted the land,
31. no trace of the abundance will be found in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
32. That Pharaoh had the same dream twice means that the matter has been confirmed by God and that God will soon bring it about.
33. “Therefore, let Pharaoh seek out a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.
34. Let Pharaoh act and appoint overseers for the land to organize it during the seven years of abundance.
35. They should collect all the food of these coming good years, gathering the grain under Pharaoh’s authority, for food in the cities, and they should guard it.
36. This food will serve as a reserve for the country against the seven years of famine that will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish in the famine.”
