Hendaklah Firaun bertindak dan mengangkat para pengawas atas negeri ini, lalu mempersiapkan tanah Mesir selama tujuh tahun kelimpahan itu.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Let Pharaoh take steps to appoint overseers” [41:34]. Pharaoh should appoint a man, and he should appoint officials to gather the grain.23Bahya, Genesis, 41:34.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Organize the land of Egypt” [41:34]. Each one should give a fifth of their grain into the king’s treasury. Even though, previously they gave a tenth, but now it was right that they should give a fifth to increase the treasury, in the expectation that the people should not die in the famine.24Hizkuni, Genesis, 41:35.
Rashi
וחמש — render it as the Targum does “and they shall prepare”. Similar is (Exodus 13:18) “וחמושים and prepared (for war)”.
