²⁴ And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.

³⁴ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.

²⁵ And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

³² And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.

¹⁵ He will take a tenth of your seed and of the fruit of your vines and give it to his servants.

¹⁶ He will take your men-servants and your servant-girls, and the best of your oxen and your asses and put them to his work.

¹⁷ He will take a tenth of your sheep: and you will be his servants.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

⁵ All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.
