Genesis 47:20-22

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁰ Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Because the famine was very bad, all the Egyptians sold their fields to buy food. So all the land now belonged to Pharaoh. ²¹ Joseph made all the people become slaves, wherever they lived in Egypt. ²² But Joseph did not buy the land which belonged to the priests. Pharaoh himself gave the priests enough food. So the priests did not have to sell their land.
