Genesis 41:34-36

International Standard Version

³⁴ Also, let Pharaoh immediately proceed to appoint supervisors over the land of Egypt, who will collect one fifth of its agricultural production^[a] during the coming seven years of abundance. ³⁵ Let them collect all the food during the coming fruitful years, store up the grain in cities governed by Pharaoh’s authority,^[b] and place it under guard. ³⁶ Let the food be kept in reserve to feed^[c] the land for the seven years of famine that will occur throughout Egypt, so the people don’t^[d] die during the famine.”
