Genesis 47:22 in Context — Genesis 47

20 Então comprou José toda a terra do Egito para Faraó; pois os egípcios venderam cada um suas terras, porque se agravou a fome sobre eles: e a terra veio a ser de Faraó.

21 E ao povo o fez passar às cidades desde um fim do termo do Egito até o outro fim.

22 Somente a terra dos sacerdotes não comprou, porquanto os sacerdotes tinham ração de Faraó, e eles comiam sua ração que Faraó lhes dava: por isso não venderam sua terra.

23 E José disse ao povo: Eis que comprei hoje vós e vossa terra para Faraó: vede aqui semente, e semeareis a terra.

24 E será que dos frutos dareis o quinto a Faraó, e as quatro partes serão vossas para semear as terras, e para vosso mantimento, e dos que estão em vossas casas, e para que comam vossos meninos.
