Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

32

The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
