³⁵ and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh -- food in the cities; and they have kept `it',

⁴⁸ And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which `is' round about `each' city hath he put in its midst;

⁶ `Because these two years the famine `is' in the heart of the land, and yet `are' five years, `in' which there is neither ploughing nor harvest;

⁷ and God sendeth me before you, to place of you a remnant in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;

¹³ and he saith, `O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.'
