Genesis 41:29-36 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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.
