Genesis 47:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰ So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; all the Egyptians sold him their fields because the famine was so severe. And the land became Pharaoh’s. ²¹ Thus all the people of Egypt became Pharaoh’s serfs. ²² The only land he didn’t buy was that belonging to the priests, for they were assigned food from Pharaoh and didn’t need to sell.
