And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part]; except the land of the priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.
And Joseph {H3130} made {H7760} it a law {H2706} over the land {H127} of Egypt {H4714} unto this day {H3117}, that Pharaoh {H6547} should have the fifth {H2569} part; except {H7535} the land {H127} of the priests {H3548} only, which became not Pharaoh's {H6547}.
Yosef made it a law for the country of Egypt, valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have twenty percent. Only the property belonging to the priests did not become Pharaoh's.
So Joseph established a law that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh, and it is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day. Only the priests’ land does not belong to Pharaoh.
And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh’s.
