At sinabi ni Jacob kay Faraon, Ang mga araw ng mga taon ng aking pakikipamayan ay isang daan at tatlong pung taon; kaunti at masasama ang mga naging araw ng mga taon ng aking buhay, at hindi umabot sa mga araw ng mga taon ng buhay ng aking mga magulang sa mga araw ng kanilang pakikipamayan.
6151. 'Therefore they did not sell their ground' means that for this reason they had no need to renounce those things or surrender them. This is clear from the meaning of 'selling' as renouncing, dealt with above in 6143, and so surrendering, since that which is renounced is surrendered to another; and from the meaning of 'ground' - that of the priests of Egypt - as the capacity to receive good in the natural, also dealt with above, in 6148. That for this reason they had no need to - to renounce and surrender those things - is meant by 'therefore they did not'.
