Genesis 41:33-37

33“Therefore, Pharaoh should find an intelligent and wise man and put him in charge of the entire land of Egypt.

34Then Pharaoh should appoint supervisors over the land and let them collect one-fifth of all the crops during the seven good years.

35Have them gather all the food produced in the good years that are just ahead and bring it to Pharaoh’s storehouses. Store it away, and guard it so there will be food in the cities.

36That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this famine will destroy the land.”

37Joseph’s suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials.
