“And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.”
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. The purpose of the plan is stated: so that the country may not be ruined. The whole elaborate proposal is in service of preventing the destruction the dream announced. The application: the plan that names what it is preventing is the plan that can be evaluated for whether it succeeds.
