Genesis 47:20-22

American Standard Version

²⁰ So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was sore upon them: and the land became Pharaoh’s. ²¹ And as for the people, ^[a]he removed them ^[b]to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof. ²² Only the land of the priests bought he not: for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them; wherefore they sold not their land.
