Genesis 47:20-22

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ In this way, Joseph acquired all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field since the famine was so severe for them. The land became Pharaoh’s, ²¹ and Joseph moved the people to the cities^[a] from one end of Egypt to the other. ²² The only land he didn’t acquire was the priests’ portion, for it was given to them by Pharaoh. They lived off^[b] the rations Pharaoh had given them; therefore they did not sell their land.
