Genesis 47:14-18

14JosephH3130 collectedH3950 allH3605 the moneyH3701 to be foundH4672 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and the landH776 of CanaanH3667 in exchange for the grainH7668 theyH1992 were buyingH7666, and heH3130 broughtH935 it into Pharaoh’sH6547 palaceH1004. 15When the moneyH3701 from the landsH776 of EgyptH4714 andH776 CanaanH3667 was goneH8552, allH3605 the EgyptiansH4713 cameH935 toH413 JosephH3130 and saidH559, “GiveH3051 us foodH3899. WhyH4100 should we dieH4191 before your eyesH5048? ForH3588 our fundsH3701 have run outH656!”

16“Then bring meH3051 your livestockH4735,” saidH559 JosephH3130. “SinceH518 the moneyH3701 is goneH656, I will sellH5414 you food in exchange for your livestockH4735.” 17So they broughtH935 their livestockH4735 toH413 JosephH3130, and heH3130 gaveH5414 them foodH3899 in exchange for their horsesH5483, their flocksH4735H6629 and herdsH1241, and their donkeysH2543. Throughout thatH1931 yearH8141 he provided themH5095 with foodH3899 in exchange for allH3605 their livestockH4735.

18When thatH1931 yearH8141 was overH8552, they cameH935 to himH413 the secondH8145 yearH8141 and saidH559, “We cannotH3808 hideH3582 from our lordH113 thatH3588 our moneyH3701 is goneH8552 and all our livestockH4735H929 belongs toH413 you. There is nothingH3808 leftH7604 forH6440 our lordH113 exceptH1115H518 our bodiesH1472 and our landH127.
