Genesis 41:31

Verse 31 of 57. The 41st of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

27The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

28That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

29Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.

30Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

31and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

32The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

33“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.

35Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
