Revised Geneva Translation

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.

²⁷ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen. And they had their possessions therein and grew and multiplied exceedingly.
