Genesis 47:23-27

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.

27And IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the landH776 of GoshenH1657; and they had possessionsH270 in it, and were fruitfulH6509 and multipliedH7235 exceedinglyH3966.
