Genesis 47:25
"It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”"
Key Reflection
This verse illustrates God's provision through Pharaoh's decree during a time of famine in Egypt. By giving one-fifth to Pharaoh while retaining the rest for various needs, it symbolizes how even in times of scarcity, God ensures that there is enough for all, blending divine sovereignty with human stewardship.
