Genesis 47:20-26
20And JosephH3130 boughtH7069 all the soil of EgyptH4714 for PharaohH6547; for the Egyptians soldH4376 every manH376 his fieldH7704, because the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 over them; and the landH776 becameH1961 Pharaoh's.
21And as for the peopleH5971, he removed them into the citiesH5892, from [one] endH7097 of the bordersH1366 of EgyptH4714 even to the [other] endH7097 of it.
22OnlyH7535 the landH127 of the priestsH3548 he did not buyH7069; for the priestsH3548 had an assigned portionH2706 from PharaohH6547, and ateH398 their assigned portionH2706 which PharaohH6547 had givenH5414 them; so they did not sellH4376 their landH127.
23And JosephH3130 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, Behold, I have boughtH7069 you this dayH3117 and your landH127 for PharaohH6547: lo, hereH2005 is seedH2233 for you, and sowH2232 the landH127.
24And it shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall giveH5414 the fifthH2549 to PharaohH6547, and the 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 us aliveH2421. Let us findH4672 favour in the eyesH5869 of my lordH113, and we will beH1961 Pharaoh's bondmen.
26And JosephH3130 madeH7760 it a law over the landH127 of EgyptH4714 to this dayH3117, [that] the fifth should beH1961 for PharaohH6547, except the landH127 of the priestsH3548: theirs aloneH905 did not becomeH1961 Pharaoh's.
