Genesis 47:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ “And from the increase, you shall give one fifth to Pharaoh; and four parts shall be yours for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for your children to eat.”

²⁵ Then they answered, “You have saved our lives. Let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”

²⁶ Then Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt until this day that Pharaoh should have one fifth, excepting only the land of the Priests, which was not Pharaoh’s.
