27And the seuen thin and ill fauoured kine that came vp after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East wind, shall bee seuen yeeres of famine. 28This is the thing which I haue spoken vnto Pharaoh: what God is about to doe, he sheweth vnto Pharaoh. 29Behold, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie, throughout all the land of Egypt. 30And there shall arise after them, seuen yeeres of famine, and all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt: and the famine shall consume the land. 31And the plentie shal not be knowen in the land, by reason of that famine following: for it shalbe very grieuous.

Wesley's Notes for Genesis 41:29
41:29 See the goodness of God, in sending the seven years of plenty before those of famine, that provision might be made accordingly. How wonderful wisely has Providence, that great house - keeper, ordered the affairs of this numerous family from the beginning! Great variety of seasons there have been and the produce of the earth sometimes more, and sometimes less; yet take one time with another, what was miraculous concerning the manna, is ordinarily verified in the common course of Providence; He that gathers much has nothing over, and he that gathers little has no lack, #Exo 16:18|.
