Genesis 47:23 in Context — Genesis 47
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.
25 E eles responderam: A vida nos deste: achemos favor aos olhos de meu senhor, e sejamos servos de Faraó.
