Genesis 47:20-26

And Joseph
<03130>
bought
<07069> (8799)
all the land
<0127>
of Egypt
<04714>
for Pharaoh
<06547>_;
for the Egyptians
<04714>
sold
<04376> (8804)
every man
<0376>
his field
<07704>_,
because the famine
<07458>
prevailed
<02388> (8804)
over them: so the land
<0776>
became Pharaoh's
<06547>_.
And as for the people
<05971>_,
he removed
<05674> (8689)
them to cities
<05892>
from [one] end
<07097>
of the borders
<01366>
of Egypt
<04714>
even to the [other] end
<07097>
thereof.
Only the land
<0127>
of the priests
<03548>
bought he
<07069> (8804)
not; for the priests
<03548>
had a portion
<02706>
[assigned them] of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8804)
their portion
<02706>
which Pharaoh
<06547>
gave
<05414> (8804)
them: wherefore they sold
<04376> (8804)
not their lands
<0127>_.
{priests: or, princes}
Then Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Behold, I have bought
<07069> (8804) <0853>
you this day
<03117>
and your land
<0127>
for Pharaoh
<06547>_:
lo
<01887>_,
[here is] seed
<02233>
for you, and ye shall sow
<02232> (8804)
the land
<0127>_.
And it shall come to pass in the increase
<08393>_,
that ye shall give
<05414> (8804)
the fifth
<02549>
[part] unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and four
<0702>
parts
<03027>
shall be your own, for seed
<02233>
of the field
<07704>_,
and for your food
<0400>_,
and for them of your households
<01004>_,
and for food
<0398> (8800)
for your little ones
<02945>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast saved our lives
<02421> (8689)_:
let us find
<04672> (8799)
grace
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of my lord
<0113>_,
and we will be Pharaoh's
<06547>
servants
<05650>_.
And Joseph
<03130>
made
<07760> (8799)
it a law
<02706>
over the land
<0127>
of Egypt
<04714>
unto this day
<03117>_,
[that] Pharaoh
<06547>
should have the fifth
<02569>
[part]; except
<07535>
the land
<0127>
of the priests
<03548>
only, [which] became not Pharaoh's
<06547>_.
