* 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.
