‏ Genesis 47:26

made it a law From this history, and from Diodorus Siculus (lib. i.), we learn that the land of Egypt was divided into three parts: one belonged to the Priests (Gen 47:22 and Gen 47:26); a second was the king's (which appears to have been the land of Rameses, or Goshen, Gen 47:11); the remainder was the subjects'. Now Joseph, having purchased the land of the people (Gen 47:19 and Gen 47:20), restored it, on the condition of their paying a fifth part of the produce to the king, beyond which he appears to have made no demand.
