Genesis 47:20-22

New King James Version

²⁰ Then Joseph ^(A)bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh’s. ²¹ And as for the people, he ^[a]moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end. ^22 (B)Only the land of the ^(C)priests he did not buy; for the priests had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands.
