47:9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “All 1  the years of my travels 2  are 130. All 3  the years of my life have been few and painful; 4  the years of my travels are not as long as those of my ancestors.” 5 
45:11 I will provide you with food 1  there because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise you would become poor – you, your household, and everyone who belongs to you.”’
41:26 The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. Both dreams have the same meaning. 1  41:27 The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent 2  seven years of famine.

41:46 Now Joseph was 30 years old 1  when he began serving 2  Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph was commissioned by 3  Pharaoh and was in charge of 4  all the land of Egypt.

30:22 Then God took note of 1  Rachel. He paid attention to her and enabled her to become pregnant. 2
