Genesis 47:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 47:23

21 And as for the people, he¹ moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end.

22 ^aOnly the land of the ^bpriests he did not buy; for the priests had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands.

23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Indeed I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

24 And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. Four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones.”

25 So they said, “You have saved ^aour lives; let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
