← Genesis 47:21	Genesis 47:22 (KJV)	Genesis 47:23 →
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.	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.	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.
