29Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.
30But seven years of famine will occur after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land.
31The previous abundance of the land will not be remembered because of the famine that follows, for the famine will be very severe.
32The dream was repeated to Pharaoh because the matter has been decreed by God, and God will make it happen soon.
33“So now Pharaoh should look for a wise and discerning man and give him authority over all the land of Egypt.
34Pharaoh should do this– he should appoint officials throughout the land to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35They should gather all the excess food during these good years that are coming. By Pharaoh’s authority they should store up grain so the cities will have food, and they should preserve it.
36This food should be held in storage for the land in preparation for the seven years of famine that will occur throughout the land of Egypt. In this way the land will survive the famine.”

6So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; he gave no thought to anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well built and good-looking.
