27. And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine.
28. This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
29. Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;
30. but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.
31. So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe.
32. And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33. “Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.
35. And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
