| 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, 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, 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. |
