Genesis 47:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 47:25

And they said, thou hast saved our lives
Preserved them from death through famine, by laying up stores of corn, which he had sold out to them for their money, cattle, and land, or otherwise they must have perished, they and theirs, and this favour they thankfully acknowledge:

let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's
servants;
signifying, that they esteemed it a great favour to be so on the foot of the bargain made with them, and they desired a continuance in it.

Genesis 47:25 In-Context

23 dixit ergo Ioseph ad populos en ut cernitis et vos et terram vestram Pharao possidet accipite semina et serite agros

24 ut fruges habere possitis quintam partem regi dabitis quattuor reliquas permitto vobis in sementem et in cibos famulis et liberis vestris

25 qui responderunt salus nostra in manu tua est respiciat nos tantum dominus noster et laeti serviemus regi

26 ex eo tempore usque in praesentem diem in universa terra Aegypti regibus quinta pars solvitur et factum est quasi in legem absque terra sacerdotali quae libera ab hac condicione fuit

27 habitavit ergo Israhel in Aegypto id est in terra Gessen et possedit eam auctusque est et multiplicatus nimis
