Genesis 41:25-36

25And JosephH3130 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is oneH259. What 1GodH430 will do he has madeH6213 known to PharaohH6547.

26The sevenH7651 fine kine are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is oneH259.

27And the sevenH7651 lean and badH7451 kine that came up after them are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641, parched with the eastH6921 windH6921, will beH1961 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458.

28This is the wordH1697 which I have spokenH1696 to PharaohH6547: what 2GodH430 is about to do he has let PharaohH6547 seeH7200.

29Behold, there comeH935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 plentyH7647 throughout the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

30And there will ariseH6965 after them sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; and all the plentyH7647 will be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the famineH7458 will waste away the landH776.

31And the plentyH7647 will not be knownH3045 afterwards in the landH776 by reason of that famineH7458; for it will be veryH3966 grievous.

32And as regards the double repetition of the dreamH2472 to PharaohH6547, it is that the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 by 3GodH430, and 4GodH430 will hastenH4116 to do it.

33And nowH6258 let PharaohH6547 lookH7200 himself out a manH376 discreet and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

34Let PharaohH6547 do [this]: let him appointH6485 overseersH6496 over the landH776, and take the fifth part of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 during the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of plentyH7647,

35and let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of these comingH935 goodH2896 yearsH8141, and lay up corn under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, for foodH400 in the citiesH5892, and keepH8104 [it].

36And let the foodH400 beH1961 as store for the landH776 for the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which will beH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that the landH776 perish not through the famineH7458.
