Genesis 47:20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. Thus the land became Pharaoh's.

Genesis 47:22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land. (NASB ©1995)


And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.

A.M. 2303. B.C. 1701.
