28 It is the word that I have already said to Pharaoh: what God is about to do, he has shown to Pharaoh.
29 Seven years of abundance are about to come in the whole land of Egypt.
30 Then seven years of famine will come up after them and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten and the famine will consume the land.
31 So the abundance in the land will be unknown because of the famine that follows, for it will be a very oppressive famine.
32 “Now as for repeating Pharaoh’s dream twice: it’s because the matter has been settled by God and God will quickly make it happen.
33 So now, let Pharaoh select a man discerning and wise and set him in authority over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh act by appointing administrators over the land and take a fifth portion from the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
