²⁴ And at the harvests you shall give a ^(A)fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones.”

³⁴ Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land and take one-fifth of the produce of the land^[a] of Egypt during the seven plentiful years.

O Lord, Be Gracious to Me

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

¹⁵ He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants. ¹⁶ He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men^[a] and your donkeys, and put them to his work. ¹⁷ He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves.

³² And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that ^(A)pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the Lord.

²⁵ And they said, “You have saved our lives; ^(A)may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
