Genesis 41:28-36

It is just as I have told Pharaoh; God has divinely revealed what he is about to do. There will come seven years of great abundance throughout all the land of Egypt, followed by seven years of intense famine. All of Egypt will forget the former abundance, for all the land will be ravaged by a famine, a very severe famine. They will not even remember their former abundance. The reason that Pharaoh’s dream was repeated is that God has determined that it will surely happen, and that he will soon carry it out.” Joseph continued, “Let Pharaoh select a very wise and discerning man and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh appoint other officials throughout the land to collect one-fifth of all the crops each year during the seven plentiful years. Have them gather all the food of these abundant years that are coming, and under Pharaoh’s authority, have the grain stored in the cities for food. Store it all as food reserve for the people during the seven years of famine coming upon Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine.”
