in charge of the land, and let him take a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt as a tax in the seven years of abundance.
35Then have them ccollect all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and have them guard it. 36Let the food be used as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”

37 Now the
Lit word
proposal seemed good
Lit in the sight of
to Pharaoh and
Lit in the sight of
