Genesis 41:33-36 ▼

33 Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him authority over the land of Egypt.

34 Pharaoh should do this, and should appoint overseers over the land, and they should take a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.

35 They should gather all the food during these good years that are coming and store the grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and they should preserve it.

36 That food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will come on the land of Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine.|
