Genesis 47:26-28

The Voice

²⁶ So Joseph made a law regarding the land of Egypt—which stands to this day—declaring Pharaoh is due one-fifth of all the land produces. Only the land of the priests remained personal property.

²⁷ So this was how Israel and his descendants came to live in the land of Egypt, in the region known as Goshen. They acquired property in the area, had children, and their number increased rapidly. ²⁸ Jacob lived another 17 years in the land of Egypt; he lived to be 147.
