Genesis 47:21 in Context — Genesis 47
19 Pourquoi mourrions-nous sous tes yeux, nous et nos terres? Achète-nous avec nos terres contre du pain, et nous appartiendrons à mon seigneur, nous et nos terres. Donne-nous de quoi semer, afin que nous vivions et que nous ne mourions pas, et que nos terres ne soient pas désolées.
20 Joseph acheta toutes les terres de l’Égypte pour Pharaon; car les Égyptiens vendirent chacun leur champ, parce que la famine les pressait. Et le pays devint la propriété de Pharaon.
21 Il fit passer le peuple dans les villes, d’un bout à l’autre des frontières de l’Égypte.
22 Seulement, il n’acheta point les terres des prêtres, parce qu’il y avait une loi de Pharaon en faveur des prêtres, qui vivaient du revenu que leur assurait Pharaon: c’est pourquoi ils ne vendirent point leurs terres.
23 Joseph dit au peuple: Je vous ai achetés aujourd’hui avec vos terres, pour Pharaon; voici pour vous de la semence, et vous pourrez ensemencer le sol.
