26. The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27. And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine.
28. This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.
29. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.
30. And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.
31. And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.
32. And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God and God will hasten to do it.
33. And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34. Let Pharaoh do this: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty,
35. and let them gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep it.
36. And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.
37. And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.
38. And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find one as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has made all this known to thee, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
