Genesis 47:23-25

New International Version

²³ Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed^(A) for you so you can plant the ground.^{(B) 24} But when the crop comes in, give a fifth^(C) of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children.”

²⁵ “You have saved our lives,” they said. “May we find favor in the eyes of our lord;^(D) we will be in bondage to Pharaoh.”^(E)
