This the word which I spake to Pharaoh: what God did, he showed Pharaoh. Behold, seven years coming of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt And seven years of famine arose after them, and all the plenty was forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine consumed the land. And the plenty shall not be known in the land on account of the famine after this; for it shall be exceedingly heavy. And because of the repeating of Pharaoh's dream twice, that the word was prepared from God; and God is hastening to do it And now will Pharaoh look out a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt And will Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, exacting a fifth part of the land of Egypt, in the seven years of plenty. And they shall gather all the food of these good years coming, and they shall heap up the grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and they shall watch food in the cities. And the food was for a deposit to the land, for the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be cut off in the famine. And the word will be good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh will say to his servants, Shall we find such as this man which has the spirit of God in him? And Pharaoh will say to Joseph, After that God showed thee all this, none discerning and wise as thou.
