Genesis 41:33-37

33Now therefore let PharaohH6547 look outH7200 a manH376 discreetH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 34Let PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and let him appointH6485 officersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth partH2567 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141.1 35And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of those goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 grainH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and let them keepH8104 foodH400 in the citiesH5892. 36And that foodH400 shall be for storeH6487 to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 not through the famineH7458.2
