## Genesis 47:25 in Context (Verses 22–28 KJV)
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/47/22) Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion *assigned them* of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/47/23) Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, *here is* seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/genesis/47/24) And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth *part* unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/genesis/47/25) And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/genesis/47/26) And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, *that* Pharaoh should have the fifth *part;* except the land of the priests only, *which* became not Pharaoh’s.*
 
 [27 ](/kjv/genesis/47/27) ¶ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/genesis/47/28) And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.*
