International Standard Version

²⁶ So Joseph crafted a statute concerning Egypt that remains valid to this day that Pharaoh should own a fifth of the produce, excluding the land belonging to the priests, which remained outside of Pharaoh’s control.

²⁷ Israel remained in Egypt’s Goshen territory, acquired land there, became prosperous, and his descendants^[a] grew very numerous. ²⁸ He lived for seventeen more years in Egypt, until he was 147 years old.
