Joseph expresses an idea in two ways to emphasize its importance. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
# all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt
Here "land" refers to the people. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "the people of Egypt will forget about the years in which there was plenty of food" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

Here "land" refers to the soil, the people, and the entire country. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
