Genesis 41:33-37

33“Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.

35And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

36Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.”

37So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
