Genesis 47:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for the king. Every Egyptian sold Joseph his field, because the hunger was very great. So the land became the king’s, ²¹ and Joseph made the people slaves from one end of Egypt to the other. ²² The only land he did not buy was the land the priests owned. They did not need to sell their land because the king paid them for their work. So they had money to buy food.
