Genesis 41:35 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:35

And let them, gather all the food of those good years that
come
That is, let the under officers collect together the fifth part of all fruits of the land during the seven years of plenty: and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh;
as his property, and only to be disposed of by his orders; for as it was to be purchased with his money, it was right that it should be in his hands, or in the hands of his officers appointed by him, as the Targum of Jonathan: and let them keep food in the cities;
reserve it in the several cities throughout the land, against the years of famine.

Genesis 41:35 In-Context

33 Zo zie nu Farao naar een verstandigen en wijzen man, en zette hem over het land van Egypte.
34 Farao doe zo, en bestelle opzieners over het land; en neme het vijfde deel des lands van Egypte in de zeven jaren des overvloeds.
35 En dat zij alle spijze van deze aankomende goede jaren verzamelen, en koren opleggen, onder de hand van Farao, tot spijze in de steden, en bewaren het.
36 Zo zal de spijze zijn tot voorraad voor het land, voor zeven jaren des hongers, die in Egypteland wezen zullen; opdat het land van honger niet verga.
37 En dit woord was goed in de ogen van Farao, en in de ogen van al zijn knechten.
