23. Joseph said to the people, "Since I’ve now purchased you and your farmland for Pharaoh, here’s seed for you. Plant the seed on the land.
24. When the crop comes in, you must give one-fifth to Pharaoh. You may keep four-fifths for yourselves, for planting fields, and for feeding yourselves, those in your households, and your children."
25. The people said, "You’ve saved our lives. If you wish, we will be Pharaoh’s slaves."
