     * 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, (ver. 22, 26;) a second was the
       king's, (which appears to have been the land of Rameses, or
       Goshen, ver. 11;) the remainder was the subjects'.  Now
       Joseph, having purchased the land of the people (ver. 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.

     * except.
