Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

That shall now presently ensue. And let all the corn be laid up under Pharao's hands, and be reserved in the cities.

See the chapter Copy

But he said: I beseech thee, Lord, send whom thou wilt send.

And the famine increased daily in all the land. And Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.

That he may appoint overseers over all the countries; and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,

And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not consumed with scarcity.
