עַד הַיּ֨וֹם הַזֶּ֜ה
until the=day the=this
This phrase refers to the time that Moses was writing the book of Genesis. You could put that information in a footnote. For some languages it may be clearer or more natural to put this phrase at the end of the sentence and say, “That law is still in effect/force today/now.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “that is still in force now”

See how you translated “a fifth” in verse 24. Alternate translation: “concerning the fields in the country of Egypt: one-fifth of the crops belongs to Pharaoh.” or “that required people to give to Pharaoh one-fifth of all the crops they harvested from the farmland in Egypt.”

See how you translated “only the land of the priests” in verse 22. Also, consider again how you translated “land/farmland” in verses 18-26. Alternate translation: “The only land that Pharaoh did not own was the land that belonged to the priests.”
