Génesis 47:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 47:24

And it shall come to pass, in the increase
When the land shall produce an increase, and it shall be gathered in:

that you shall give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh;
a fifth part of the increase:

and four parts shall be your own;
for the following uses, one part

for seed of the field:
to sow again with for the next year: a second part

for your food;
for food for themselves: a third part

for them of your household;
their servants and maids: and the fourth part

for food for your little ones;
for their children, be they young or old; or however four parts of five he proposed they should have for their own use, and for the maintenance of their families, which was a kind and generous proposal, when all might have been demanded, and they and theirs treated as slaves.

Génesis 47:24 In-Context

22 Solamente la tierra de los sacerdotes no compró, pues los sacerdotes tenían ración de parte de Faraón, y vivían de la ración que Faraón les daba. Por tanto no vendieron su tierra.
23 Y José dijo al pueblo: He aquí, hoy os he comprado a vosotros y a vuestras tierras para Faraón; ahora, aquí hay semilla para vosotros; id y sembrad la tierra.
24 Al tiempo de la cosecha daréis la quinta parte a Faraón, y cuatro partes serán vuestras para sembrar la tierra y para vuestro mantenimiento, para los de vuestras casas y para alimento de vuestros pequeños.
25 Y ellos dijeron: Nos has salvado la vida. Hallemos gracia ante los ojos de Faraón mi señor, y seremos siervos de Faraón.
26 Entonces José puso una ley respecto a la tierra de Egipto, en vigor hasta hoy: que Faraón debía recibir el quinto; sólo la tierra de los sacerdotes no llegó a ser de Faraón.
