in order and get your fields ready;
after that build your house

not able to finish it, everyone who sees
it will ridicule you

Gen.41:34-36 – Let Pharaoh appoint
commissioners over the land to take a fifth
of the harvest of Egypt during the seven
years of abundance. They should collect all
the food of these good years that are coming
and store up the grain under the authority of
Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food.
This food should be held in reserve for the
country, to be used during the seven years of
famine that will come upon Egypt, so that
the country may not be ruined by the famine.
