Genesis 47:26-28

²⁶ So Joseph made a law about land in Egypt. It’s still the law today. A fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land belonging to the priests didn’t become Pharaoh’s.

²⁷ The people of Israel lived in Egypt in the area of Goshen. They received property there. They had children and so became many.

²⁸ Jacob lived 17 years in Egypt. He lived a total of 147 years.
