καὶ ἔσται τὰ γενήματα αὐτῆς, δώσετε τὸ πέμπτον μέρος τῷ Φαραώ· τὰ δὲ τέσσερα μέρη ἔσται ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς εἰς σπέρμα τῇ γῇ καὶ εἰς βρῶσιν ὑμῖν καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς οἴκοις ὑμῶν.

LXX

And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth 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.
