Genesis 41:25-36

25And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is one: whatH834 GodH430 is aboutH413 to doH6213 he hath declaredH5046 unto PharaohH6547.

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

27And the sevenH7651 leanH7534 and ill favoured kine that cameH1961 upH5927 afterH310 them are sevenH7651 yearsH8141, and also the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641 blasted with the eastH6921 windH6921; they shall be sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458.

28That is the thingH1697 whichH834 I spake unto PharaohH6547: whatH834 GodH430 is aboutH413 to doH6213 he hath shewed unto PharaohH6547.

29BeholdH2009, there comeH935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 plentyH7647 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714:

30and there shall ariseH6965 afterH310 them sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; and allH3605 the plentyH7647 shall be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the famineH7458 shall consumeH3615 the landH776;

31and the plentyH7647 shall notH3808 be knownH3045 in the landH776 by reasonH3651 of that famineH7458 whichH1931 followeth; for it shall be veryH3966 grievousH3515.

32And for that the dreamH2472 was doubled unto PharaohH6547 twiceH6471, it is becauseH3588 the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 by GodH430, and GodH430 will shortly bringH4116 it to pass.

33NowH6258 therefore letH6258 PharaohH6547 lookH7200 outH5921 a manH376 discreet and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

34LetH6485 PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and letH6485 him appointH6485 overseersH6496 over the landH776, and takeH6485 upH5921 the fifthH2567 partH5921 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteous yearsH8141.

35And let them gatherH6908 allH3605 the foodH400 of theseH428 goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 corn underH8478 the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 for foodH400 in the citiesH5892, and let them keepH8104 it.

36And the foodH400 shall be for a store to the landH776 againstH4714 the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, whichH834 shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 notH3808 throughH776 the famineH7458.
