Genesis 41:25-39

25And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is oneH259: what GodH430 is about to do he hath declaredH5046 unto PharaohH6547. 26The sevenH7651 goodH2896 kine are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is oneH259. 27And the sevenH7651 lean and ill-favored kine that came up after them are sevenH7651 yearsH8141, and also the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641 blasted with the eastH6921 windH6921; they shall beH1961 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458. 28That is the thingH1697 which I spake unto PharaohH6547: what GodH430 is about to do he hath showedH7200 unto PharaohH6547. 29Behold, there comeH935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 plentyH7647 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 30and there shall ariseH6965 after them sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; and all the plentyH7647 shall be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the famineH7458 shall consume the landH776; 31and the plentyH7647 shall not be knownH3045 in the landH776 by reason of that famineH7458 which followeth; for it shall be veryH3966 grievous. 32And for that the dreamH2472 was doubled unto PharaohH6547, it is because the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 by GodH430, and GodH430 will shortly bringH4116 it to pass. 33NowH6258 thereforeH6258 let PharaohH6547 lookH7200 out a manH376 discreet and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 do this, and let him appointH6485 overseersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth part of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteous yearsH8141. 35And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of these goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay up grainH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 for foodH400 in the citiesH5892, and let them keepH8104 it. 36And the foodH400 shall beH1961 for a store to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall beH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perish not through the famineH7458.

37And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650. 38And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Can we findH4672 such a oneH376 as this, a manH376 in whom the spiritH7307 of GodH430 is? 39And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Forasmuch as GodH430 hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wiseH2450 as thou:
