1 Moseboken 41:48

Han samlade upp all mat under de sju åren som var i Egyptens land och lagrade maten i städerna [nära där människorna bodde]. Markens mat som fanns runtomkring varje stad samlade han [strategiskt] in i den staden.

And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
