Genesis 41:33-35

International Children’s Bible

³³ “So let the king choose a man who is very wise and understanding. Let the king set him over the land of Egypt. ³⁴ And let the king also appoint officers over the land. They should take one-fifth of all the food that is grown during the seven good years. ³⁵ They should gather all the food that is produced during the good years that are coming. Under the king’s authority they should store the grain in the cities and guard it.
