Context — The Famine Continues
22However, he did not acquire the priests’ portion of the land, for it had been given to them by Pharaoh. They ate the rations that Pharaoh supplied; so they did not sell their land.
23Then Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh this day, here is seed for you to sow in the land.
24At harvest time, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and food for yourselves and your households and children.”
25“You have saved our lives,” they said. “We have found favor in our lord’s eyes, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.” 26So 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.Cross References

Genesis 47:24 Summary
[This verse, Genesis 47:24, is about the people of Egypt giving a fifth of their harvest to Pharaoh as a way of showing respect and gratitude for the land they lived on. It's like saying thank you to God for the blessings we have, as seen in Deuteronomy 26:1-11. By giving back to Pharaoh, the people acknowledged that everything they had came from God, and that they were stewards of the land, responsible to use it wisely and generously.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of giving a fifth of the harvest to Pharaoh?
This act signifies the people's recognition of Pharaoh's authority over them and their land, as established by Joseph in Genesis 47:24, and is a reminder of God's provision for them, as seen in Genesis 41:34-36.
How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship?
The division of the harvest into a fifth for Pharaoh and four-fifths for the people illustrates the principle of stewardship, where the people are entrusted with the land and its produce, and are responsible to give back to their ruler, as seen in Genesis 47:24, and to God, as taught in Malachi 3:10.
Is this practice of giving a fifth of the harvest still observed today?
According to Genesis 47:26, this law established by Joseph is still in effect in the land of Egypt, although its modern-day application may vary, and serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of Joseph's leadership and faith, as seen in Genesis 41:38-40.
How does this verse demonstrate Joseph's wisdom and leadership?
Joseph's instruction to give a fifth of the harvest to Pharaoh shows his wisdom in balancing the needs of the people with the demands of their ruler, as seen in Genesis 47:24, and demonstrates his trust in God's provision, as expressed in Genesis 45:5-8.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can apply the principle of stewardship in my own life, recognizing that everything I have belongs to God?
- How can I balance my responsibility to provide for my own needs and those of my loved ones with my obligation to give back to God and to those in authority over me?
- What are some modern-day equivalents of 'giving a fifth' that I can practice in my daily life, such as tithing or volunteering my time and skills?
- In what ways can I trust God to provide for me, even in times of uncertainty or scarcity, just as Joseph trusted God to provide for the people of Egypt?
Gill's Exposition on 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:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 47:24
Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 47:24
Whereas he might have reserved four parts to Pharaoh, and have allowed them only the fifth. Herein he showed both his humanity and kindness, in mitigating that hard bargain which themselves had made, and were necessitated to make, and his prudence in composing, sweetening, and winning the hearts of the people to the king, and making them pay their tribute for the future with more cheerfulness.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 47:24
Genesis 47:24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.Ver. 24. Ye shall give the fifth part.]
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 47:24
Verse 24. Ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh] This is precisely the case in Hindostan; the king has the fifth part of all the crops.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 47:24
24. a fifth] Cf. Genesis 41:34. This seems an immense impost. But it is said to compare favourably with the ruthless standard of taxation by Oriental governments, in which corruption was rife and liberty did not exist: cf. the letter of King Demetrius, 1Ma 10:30, “the third part of the seed,” “the half of the fruit of the trees which falleth to me to receive.”
