Genesis 47:20-26
20So JosephH3130 boughtH7069 all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for PharaohH6547; for the Egyptians soldH4376 every manH376 his fieldH7704, because the famineH7458 wasH1961 sore upon them: and the landH776 becameH1961 Pharaoh’s. 21And as for the peopleH5971, he removed them to the citiesH5892 from one endH7097 of the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714 even to the other endH7097 thereof. 22OnlyH7535 the landH127 of the priestsH3548 boughtH7069 he not: for the priestsH3548 had a portionH2706 from PharaohH6547, and did eatH398 their portionH2706 which PharaohH6547 gaveH5414 them; wherefore they soldH4376 not their landH127. 23Then JosephH3130 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Behold, I have boughtH7069 you this dayH3117 and your landH127 for PharaohH6547: lo, hereH2005 is seedH2233 for you, and ye shall sowH2232 the landH127. 24And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall giveH5414 a fifthH2549 unto PharaohH6547, and fourH702 parts shall beH1961 your own, for seedH2233 of the fieldH7704, and for your foodH400, and for them of your householdsH1004, and for foodH400 for your littleH2945 onesH2945. 25And they saidH559, Thou hast saved our livesH2421: let us findH4672 favorH2580 in the sight of my lordH113, and we will beH1961 Pharaoh’sH6547 servantsH5650. 26And JosephH3130 madeH7760 it a statuteH2706 concerning the landH127 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117, that PharaohH6547 should have the fifth; onlyH7535 the landH127 of the priestsH3548 aloneH905 becameH1961 not Pharaoh’sH6547.
