29. Seven years of great abundance are now coming throughout the entire land of Egypt.
30. After them, seven years of famine will appear, and all of the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will devastate the land.
31. No one will remember the abundance in the land because the famine that follows will be so very severe.
32. The dream occurred to Pharaoh twice because God has determined to do it, and God will make it happen soon.
33. "Now Pharaoh should find an intelligent, wise man and give him authority over the land of Egypt.
34. Then Pharaoh should appoint administrators over the land and take one-fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35. During the good years that are coming, they should collect all such food and store the grain under Pharaoh’s control, protecting the food in the cities.
36. This food will be reserved for the seven years of famine to follow in the land of Egypt so that the land won’t be ravaged by the famine."
37. This advice seemed wise to Pharaoh and all his servants,
38. and Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man with more God-given gifts than this one?"
