Genesis 47:20-22

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe on them. The land became Pharaoh’s. 21 As for the people, he made servants of them ^{▼▼Samaritan, Septuagint, Vulgate; Hebrew he removed them to the cities} from one end of Egypt to the other. 22 ^bOnly the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.
