Genesis 47:24 in Context — Genesis 47
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.
24 A la récolte, vous donnerez un cinquième à Pharaon, et vous aurez les quatre autres parties, pour ensemencer les champs, et pour vous nourrir avec vos enfants et ceux qui sont dans vos maisons.
25 Ils dirent: Tu nous sauves la vie! Que nous trouvions grâce aux yeux de mon seigneur, et nous serons esclaves de Pharaon.
26 Joseph fit de cela une loi, qui a subsisté jusqu’à ce jour, et d’après laquelle un cinquième du revenu des terres de l’Égypte appartient à Pharaon; il n’y a que les terres des prêtres qui ne soient point à Pharaon.
