Genesis 41:25-36 - Joseph Tells The Dreams' Meaning
25 Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, "Both Pharaoh's dreams are one. And God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years: and the seven good ears are seven years also, and is but one dream. 27 Likewise, the seven thin and evil favored cows that came out after them, are seven years: and the seven empty and blasted ears shall be seven years of hunger.
28 This is that which I said unto Pharaoh, that God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 "Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenteousness throughout all the land of Egypt. 30 And there shall arise after them seven years of hunger. So that all the plenteousness shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt. And the hunger shall consume the land: 31 so that the plenteousness shall not be once a seen in the land, by reason of that hunger that shall come after, for it shall be exceeding great. 32 And as concerning that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh the second time, it betokeneth that the thing is certainly prepared of God, and that God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore, let Pharaoh provide for a man of understanding and wisdom, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 And let Pharaoh make officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years 35 and let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the power of Pharaoh: that there may be food in the cities, 36 and there let them keep it: that there may be food in store in the land, against the seven years of hunger which shall come in the land of Egypt, and that the land perish not through hunger."
