Genesis 41:28-36

281It is as I have spokenH1696 to PharaohH6547: 2GodH430 has shownH7200 to PharaohH6547 whatH834 He is about to doH6213. 29BeholdH2009, 3sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 abundanceH7647 are comingH935 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 30and afterH310 them 4sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 will 5comeH6965, and allH3605 the abundanceH7647 will be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the famineH7458 will 6ravageH3615 the landH776. 31So the abundanceH7647 will be unknownH3045H3808 in the landH776 becauseH4480H6440 of that subsequentH310 famineH7458; for it will be veryH3966 severeH3515. 32Now as for the repeatingH8138 of the dreamH2472 to PharaohH6547 twiceH6471, it means that 7the matterH1697 is determinedH3559 by GodH430, and GodH430 will quicklyH4116 bringH6213 it aboutH6213. 33NowH6258 let PharaohH6547 lookH7200 for a manH376 8discerningH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 takeH6213 actionH6213 to appointH6485 overseersH6496 9in chargeH5921 of the landH776, and let him exactH2567 a fifthH2567 of the produce of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of abundanceH7647. 35Then let them 10gatherH6908 allH3605 the foodH3978 of theseH428 goodH2896 yearsH8141 that are comingH935, and storeH6651 up the grainH1250 for foodH400 in the citiesH5892 underH8478 Pharaoh’sH6547 authorityH3027, and let them guardH8104 it. 36Let the foodH400 becomeH1961 as a reserveH6487 for the landH776 for the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 whichH834 will occurH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so that the landH776 will not perishH3772 during the famineH7458.”
