Genesis 47:22-24

Legacy Standard Bible

²² Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they ate off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land. ²³ Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have today bought you and your land for Pharaoh; now, here is seed for you, and you may sow the land. ²⁴ And it will be, at the harvest you shall give a ^(A)fifth to Pharaoh, and ^[a]four-fifths shall be your own for seed of the field and for your food and for those of your households and as food for your little ones.”
