Genesis 47:23-27
23Then JosephH3130 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “BeholdH2005, todayH3117 I have purchasedH7069 you and your landH127 for PharaohH6547; nowH1887, here is seedH2233 for you, and you may sowH2232 the landH127. 241At the harvestH8393 you shall giveH5414 a 2fifthH2549 to PharaohH6547, and 3four-fifthsH702H3027 shall be your own for seedH2233 of the fieldH7704 and for your foodH400, and for those of your householdsH1004 and as foodH398 for your littleH2945 onesH2945.” 25So they saidH559, “You have savedH2421 our livesH2421! Let us findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113, and we will be Pharaoh’sH6547 slavesH5650.” 26JosephH3130 madeH7760 it a statuteH2706 concerningH5921 the landH127 of EgyptH4714, valid to thisH2088 dayH3117, that PharaohH6547 was to have the fifthH2569; 4onlyH7534 the landH127 of the priestsH3548 5did not becomeH1961 Pharaoh’sH6547.
27Now IsraelH3478 livedH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in 6GoshenH1657, and they 7acquiredH270 propertyH270 in it and 8wereH6509 fruitfulH6509 and becameH7235 veryH3966 numerousH7235.
