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. As for the people, he removed them to the cities from one end of Egypt's border to the other.

Therefore, they did not sell their land. read more.

"At the harvest you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be your own for seed of the field and for your food and for those of your households and as food for your little ones." So they said, "You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."

To the apostate He apportions our fields.' "Therefore you will have no one stretching a measuring line For you by lot in the assembly of the LORD. 'Do not speak out,' so they speak out But if they do not speak out concerning these things, Reproaches will not be turned back.
