Genesis 41:47-49

International Standard Version

⁴⁷ While bumper crops grew during the seven abundant years, ⁴⁸ Joseph^[a] collected the surplus food throughout the land of Egypt, storing food in cities; that is, he gathered the food from fields that surrounded every city and stored it there. ⁴⁹ Joseph stored up so much grain—like sand on the seashore in so much abundance!—that he stopped keeping records because it was proving to be impossible to measure how much they were gathering.
