23Then JosephH3130 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Behold, I have boughtH853H7069 you this dayH3117 and your landH127 for PharaohH6547: loH1887, here is seedH2233 for you, and ye shall sowH2232 the landH127. 24And it shall come to pass in the increaseH8393, that ye shall giveH5414 the fifthH2549 part unto PharaohH6547, and fourH702 partsH3027 shall be your own, for seedH2233 of the fieldH7704, and for your foodH400, and for them of your householdsH1004, and for foodH398 for your little onesH2945. 25And they saidH559, Thou hast saved our livesH2421: let us findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113, and we will be Pharaoh’sH6547 servantsH5650. 26And JosephH3130 madeH7760 it a lawH2706 over the landH127 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117, that PharaohH6547 should have the fifthH2569 part; exceptH7535 the landH127 of the priestsH3548 only, which became not Pharaoh’sH6547.1
27And IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the countryH776 of GoshenH1657; and they had possessionsH270 therein, and grewH6509, and multipliedH7235 exceedinglyH3966.
