Gawin ito ni Faraon: magtalaga siya ng mga tagapamahala sa lupain, at ihanda niya ang lupain ng Egipto sa loob ng pitong taon ng kasaganaan.

“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
