Bible Verses About Egypt: Joseph counsels Pharaoh

`And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;

let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,

and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh--food in the cities; and they have kept it ,

and the food hath been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.'
