Genesis 47:22-24

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²² The only land he didn’t acquire was the priests’ portion, for it was given to them by Pharaoh. They lived off^[a] the rations Pharaoh had given them; therefore they did not sell their land.

²³ Then Joseph said to the people, “Understand today that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you. Sow it in the land. ²⁴ At harvest, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh,^(A) and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and as food for yourselves, your households, and your dependents.”
