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.
Cuando llegue el tiempo de la cosecha, darán la quinta parte de los cultivos al Faraón, y las otras cuatro quintas partes las podrán guardar para ustedes. Usen su parte para sembrar semillas la próxima temporada, alimentar a sus familias y proveer comida para sus hijos.
José establece que el pueblo debe dar una quinta parte de sus cosechas al Faraón y quedarse con el resto para sus necesidades familiares y agrícolas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, Joseph, who had risen to power in Egypt as Pharaoh's second-in-command, was overseeing the distribution of food during a widespread famine that affected the region. He implemented a system where the Egyptian people, who had sold their land to Pharaoh in exchange for grain, were required to give one-fifth of their harvest as a tax to sustain the government and ensure continued food supply. This arrangement highlighted Joseph's administrative wisdom, which stemmed from his earlier interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams about seven years of abundance followed by seven years of scarcity.
