Genesis 47:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.

²³ Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,

²⁴ That you may have corn. The fifth part you shall give to the king: the other four you shall have for seed, and for food for your families and children.
