Genesis 41:25-36

25And JosephH3130 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, “Pharaoh’sH6547 1dreamsH2472 are oneH259 and the same; 2GodH430 has toldH5046 to PharaohH6547 whatH853H834 He is about to doH6213. 26The sevenH7651 goodH2896 cowsH6510 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; the 3dreamsH2472 are oneH259 and the same. 27The sevenH7651 thinH7534 and uglyH7451 cowsH6510 that cameH5927 upH5927 afterH310 them are sevenH7651 yearsH8141, and the sevenH7651 thinH7534 earsH7641 scorchedH7710 by the eastH6921 windH6921 4will be sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458. 285It is as I have spokenH1696 to PharaohH6547: 6GodH430 has shownH7200 PharaohH6547 whatH834 He is about to doH6213. 29BeholdH2009, 7sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 abundanceH7647 are comingH935 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 30and afterH310 them 8sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 will 9comeH6965, and allH3605 the abundanceH7647 will be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the famineH7458 will 10ravageH3615 the landH776. 31So the abundanceH7647 will beH3045 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 11the matterH1697 is confirmedH3559 by GodH430, and GodH430 will quicklyH4116 bringH6213 it aboutH6213. 33So nowH6258 let PharaohH6547 lookH7200 for a manH376 12discerningH995 and wiseH2450, and appointH7896 him overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 takeH6213 actionH6213 to appointH6485 overseersH6496 13inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the landH776, and let him takeH2567 aH2567 fifthH2567 of the produce of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 as a tax in the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of abundanceH7647. 35Then have them 14collectH6908 allH3605 the foodH3978 of theseH428 goodH2896 yearsH8141 that are comingH935, and storeH6651 upH6651 the grainH1250 for foodH400 in the citiesH5892 underH8478 Pharaoh’sH6547 authorityH3027, and have them guardH8104 it. 36Let the foodH400 be used 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.”
