Genesis 47:23-25

The Voice

Joseph (to the people): ²³ See I have done what you asked. I have bought you and your lands for Pharaoh. Now here is the seed you need to sow the land. ²⁴ When the harvest arrives, you will be required to give one-fifth of what you produce to Pharaoh; and four-fifths will be your own to plant the fields and feed your families, households, and children.

Egyptians: ²⁵ You have saved our lives. If it pleases my lord, we are honored to serve as slaves to Pharaoh under these terms.
