Genesis 47:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ The people said, “You have saved our lives. If you like, we will become slaves of the king.”

²⁶ So Joseph made a law in Egypt, which continues today: One-fifth of everything from the land belongs to the king. The only land the king did not get was the priests’ land.

“Don’t Bury Me in Egypt”

²⁷ The Israelites continued to live in the land of Goshen in Egypt. There they got possessions. They had many children and grew in number.
