Genesis 47:23-27

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>_.

{priests: or, princes}

And Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

in the country
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_;

and they had possessions
<0270> (8735)

therein, and grew
<06509> (8799)_,

and multiplied
<07235> (8799)

exceedingly
<03966>_.
