Genesis 47:23-25

Revised Geneva Translation

²³ Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, today I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you. Therefore, sow the ground.

²⁴ “And from the increase, you shall give one fifth to Pharaoh; and four parts shall be yours for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for your children to eat.”

²⁵ Then they answered, “You have saved our lives. Let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
